Memphis Depay Reveals Reason Why He’s Struggling At Manchester United

Memphis Depay has spoken about his struggles since joining Manchester United. 

Manchester United winger Memphis Depay has recently joined up with the Dutch national side as they make one last push in their attempt to qualify for the Euros next summer.

The Dutch are currently fourth in their group and essentially, they must win both of their last two qualifying matches against Kazakhstan and the Czech Republic if they are to have any chance of qualifying.

In the build up however,  Dutch paper Telegraaf had the opportunity to interview new Manchester United man Memphis Depay to discuss, not only the upcoming qualifiers, but also his introduction to the Premier League.

Despite looking promising at stages, Depay has largely struggled to find form since making the move to England and, in a reasonably frank interview, the Dutch wonder kid had the following to say about his difficulties.

In Manchester I play a lot of games. There are very few days that I can rest.

On training days, you are mainly concerned with conditioning. It’s heavy, two games a week, always at a high level. Because of that, my body still has to get used to it all.

I’m trying in my career to take many steps. I think this was the right step, and I am happy in Manchester.

Essentially, it seems that the physicality of the English game is taking its toll on Depay and that the youngster is finding it difficult to cope.

The Dutch forward isn’t the first to struggle with the step up to the Premier League. However, Manchester United fans will be hoping that he can adapt sooner rather than later.
