'Depay wanted the team to revolve around him but he's NOT good enough for that': Lyon chief Juninho slams ex-Man United flop for thinking he was on Messi and Ronaldo's level as he prepares to leave French side on a free

Lyon sporting director Juninho took no prisoners in his assessment of Memphis Depay as he accused the outgoing star of 'wanting the entire team to revolve around him' as if he were on the same level as Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

The once Manchester United flop is set to leave the Ligue 1 giants on a free transfer this summer and is being heavily linked with a move to Barcelona.

Depay has been one of Lyon's standout performers in recent years since joining from United in 2017 and finished this season as their top scorer with 21 league goals - only PSG's Kylian Mbappe managed more than him.
