Martin Keown believes Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho didn't rate Memphis Depay
“Jose Mourinho did not rate him,” Keown told the Daily Mail.
“Mourinho has got it wrong before in letting the likes of Kevin De Bruyne and Romelu Lukaku go and will have thought long and hard about Depay — although I don't think he will live to regret selling him.
“Depay was bought by the previous manager and had several players like Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial in similar positions around him.
