Man United flop Memphis Depay explains no bad blood between him and Mourinho

Former Manchester United forward Memphis Depay is reportedly set to join Brazilian side Corinthians. Depay joined United from PSV Eindhoven in 2015 when Louis van Gaal was manager at Old Trafford. Dutch forward agreed on terms days ago but now also contracts are ready — as Depay completed medical tests.

Opening up in a 2018 interview over why things went wrong for him at United, he insisted that then-United boss Jose Mourinho does not deserve any criticism for his departure.

Memphis Depay  said “I said to Mourinho ‘you will see me at the top’. He said, ‘OK, I hope that and I hope we will buy you back one day.’ I never had a bad relationship with him I saw everybody playing left wing except me, even Wayne Rooney. Rooney is, of course, a legendary player but not a winger. I don’t blame the manager. Maybe he doesn’t like my style of play. I love playing beautiful football, tricks and doing cheeky things. I don’t know if that’s his type of game.””
