Manchester United attacker Memphis Depay has said stories that assistant manager Ryan Giggs reprimanded him for his behaviour are “total nonsense.”
Depay, 21, joined United in the summer but has struggled to find a regular place in Louis van Gaal’s team and has faced questions over his lifestyle.
However, the Netherlands international told Algemeen Dagblad: “The funny thing is, since I came to England, I’ve only been out one time. One time!
“But recently I read that Ryan Giggs has accosted me about my reputation as a ‘party-boy’ and stuff. It’s total nonsense! Completely made up!”
He added: “Often I think: ‘Just let me do this. Let me wear the clothes I want to wear.’ Why is everyone making such a big deal out of that? What is this all about? Just let me. I’m also just a 21-year-old boy.
“Why should I adjust? Some people collect stamps; I like fashion, discovering nice new things. I feel good about doing that. If I were to put on what you wanted me to put on, I wouldn’t be myself anymore.”
