Former Manchester United forward Memphis Depay, currently without a club, has posted training videos from Monaco, showcasing his efforts to stay fit while seeking a new team. The 30-year-old Netherlands international was released by Atletico Madrid after a disappointing Euro 2024 performance, where the Dutch reached the semi-finals.
Depay’s Instagram video features hill sprints and resistance training, but fans were unimpressed, with some criticizing his work ethic and recent displays. Depay remains optimistic despite the negativity, reflecting on his past in a recent documentary. He addressed criticism of his time in Manchester, where his flashy lifestyle, including driving a Rolls Royce and wearing a cowboy hat, drew attention.
Wayne Rooney once confronted Depay for his off-pitch antics, but Depay insists he has earned his success through hard work, saying, “I am a lion, I am a king. I don’t care what people think about me.”
