Depay’s performance was slated in Manchester United’s 3-0 defeat against Arsenal earlier this month when he was hauled off at half-time and replaced by Marouane Fellaini and the Sunday People claim assistant manager Giggs has handed the Holland forward a dressing down over that display and his recent conduct.

The 21-year-old has scored just once in eight Premier League appearances and he’s only created four chances, failing to register a single assist.
Depay has struggled for form in the Premier League, with his brace against Club Brugge in a Champions League qualifier the only true high point of his United career to date.
However, it appears that Giggs has looked to try and solve the problem head on, by telling Depay to keep a lower profile and concentrate more on his football, as per the newspaper.
Meanwhile, he’s already becoming a favourite of gossip websites, with TMZ Sports noting he seems to be spending an very bad lot of time with Karrueche Tran, an ex-girlfriend of hip-hop artist Chris Brown. Moreover, the player has himself admitted struggling to adapt to the intensity of the league, with the main reason being the number of games and the lack of recovery time.
Does Memphis need to tone down his lifestyle? His vital contributions helped PSV Eindhoven to win the league title and he was also nominated in the list of sixty players for Balon’Dor.

Depay has shown only glimpses of his talent since joining United. “There are very few rest days and on training days you are mainly concerned with recovering”, Depay told Dutch publication De Telegraaf.
