Depay: I have become a much better player

Dutch forward Memphis Depay believes he’s become a better player since leaving Manchester United for Lyon. The 24-year-old, who departed Old Trafford in January 2017, returns to Manchester tonight when Lyon play Man City in the Champions League.

He told the BBC: “Everybody knows the story of me and Manchester United was not successful. Everybody can see that and I can feel it myself. I can look back and say I didn’t want it to go like that – nobody did – but things happened. You go through experiences in life on and off the pitch.

“When I came back today [to Manchester] I felt like a different person. I’m just happy that I’m the player I am today. I became a much better player. I can feel it in games and everyone can see it.”
