Former Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal has questioned Barcelona’s interest in Lyon attacker Memphis Depay.
Van Gaal, who signed Depay for £25million back in 2015, is concerned that the 26-year-old may struggle to adapt to the “new culture” and “new team”.
He told TMW: “There’s always a question mark. Depay is an interesting player, especially when he’s free to play.
“But we have to consider adapting to a new culture and a new team. And the first year is always the hardest.
“Look at [Matthijs] De Ligt, or Frenkie de Jong.
“Depay has talent, but he’s not [Lionel] Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo.”
