“For me personally, it wasn't all that easy, I needed to play. But we didn't have a bad relationship.

United included a buy-back clause in their deal to sell Depay, who is highly thought of by Mourinho.
“Memphis is a fantastic professional, it would be wrong for anyone to say or think otherwise,” he said.
“I know people have an image of him in an amazing car or dressed in a certain way but that image is totally wrong. He worked hard to get a chance at this club and I have only good things to say about him.”
