Memphis Depay missed Manchester United ‘s team bus and had to drive himself to meet up with the rest of the squad at The Lowry Hotel.
.
While United’s squad turned up on the bus together, former PSV man Depay arrived in his black Mercedes five minutes after his teammates.
.
The squad are at the hotel ahead of Tuesday’s
Champions League clash with CSKA Moscow at Old
Trafford.
.
This latest move is unlikely to endear the 21-year-
old, who has also been dropped from the Dutch
national squad, to manager Louis van Gaal, who
previously defended his £25million signing’s form.
.
Van Gaal said: “I have said that he is the greatest
talent of his age but he is also only 21 and that is
also an age you cannot expect consistency.
.
“He is also in a phase of his career where he has to
adapt to many things so I have expected this. But I
am convinced he is coming back, maybe stronger
than before.
.
“But we have to give him time, like Anthony Martial.
But maybe Martial will continue scoring goals and
help us to win matches, but I expect him to also
have a dip in form.”
.
Regardless of his questions surrounding his
punctuality, Depay is, according to United, a slight
injury doiubt for tonight’s game.
