Gullit: Depay needs to focus on football
Ruud Gullit believes Manchester United's Memphis Depay needs to focus on football to avoid becoming another Old Trafford transfer flop.
Former Netherlands international and Chelsea manager Ruud Gullit has slammed Memphis Depay's boisterous off-field lifestyle.
Depay arrived at Manchester United before the start of the 2015-16 season amid much promise as an Eredivisie champion and top goalscorer but the Dutchman has found going tough at Old Trafford.
Gullit said while he is an admirer of Depay's talents, his off-field antics were an unnecessary distraction from football, particularly when the 21-year-old prodigious winger is struggling for minutes and form in Manchester.
