Manchester United winger Memphis Depay has revealed he is struggling to cope with the physical side of Premier League football.

The Dutchman was off-colour in the league once more during the 3-0 defeat at Arsenal last weekend, the latest in a series of disappointing domestic performances.

Depay has scored just one goal in eight league games but has found more joy in Europe, with three goals across both the qualification and group stages in the Champions League.

And the 21-year-old has conceded he has been unable to fully adapt to the relentless nature of the game in England.

“There are a lot of games in Manchester,” he said.

“There are very few rest days and on training days you are mainly concerned with recovering.

“It’s heavy, two games a week, always at a high level, and my body has to get used to that.”

Depay, though, is refusing to be too downbeat on his start to life with the Reds and believes he has plenty more to offer at Old Trafford in the coming years.

“I try to manage my career in steps, and I am still in the middle,” he added.

“I think this was the right step and I am happy in Manchester... I’m still developing.”
