Former Netherlands international star Willem van Hanegem has slammed Manchester United winger Memphis Depay for his goal celebrations last night. The youngster was the match winner for his country, but his actions haven’t impressed Van Hanegem.
The Dutchman went on to say even though Depay scored two goals he doesn’t think Jose Mourinho will start selecting him.
“I’ve been irritated by Memphis. A good thing he got two goals, but he did not play that good. I also don’t understand why he was doing those weird things after those goals.
“I heard the reporter say that Jose Mourinho might start looking differently at Memphis after his two goals. But if he stays at Manchester United there will still no place for him. But what’s sad is that Memphis himself now probably thinks he played very well,” said the Dutch football legend.
Depay has been frozen out by Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho this season, leading to very few chances on the pitch. Despite this Netherlands coach Danny Blind picked the attacker for this international break, and Depay repaid this faith shown in him.
For some in the Netherlands, Depay can do no good. That he’s still receiving criticism after scoring two goals only serves to underline that.
