He came to Old Trafford with the world at his feet, but I think he underestimated either his talent or how tough the league is.  “He found himself very much on the outside of the Manchester United starting XI. When he has been introduced, I’m not so sure that his ego has taken the knock that it needs.” All four of Depay’s Premier League appearances this season have come from off the bench, and have presented him with a grand total of 20 minutes of top-flight action. It is clear that he needs to get game time from somewhere, despite being included in the most recent Netherlands squad and being given a second-half run-out in Wednesday’s 1-1 draw with Belgium.</blockquote>
