​Olympique Lyon's Dutch forward Memphis Depay has revealed that he needs to add more consistency to his game in order to become one of the best players in the world.





Speaking in an interview with ​Canal+, Depay said that he is adamant on not repeating the mistakes he made during his failure at his former club, Manchester United.





The striker, who came on to score a 90th minute winning goal for Lyon against Marseille on Sunday has now netted 10 goals for his team which also included a ​90th minute thunderbolt of a goal against Paris Saint-Germain earlier this season.





The 24-year-old has now started to set his eyes on becoming a top player but he suggests that he would have to move to a bigger club in order to achieve greatness.





On being asked if he believes he could be the best, Depay replied, "Honestly, in terms of quality... nothing [is lacking to be the best in the world]. I'm not arrogant but I need to be more consistent perhaps."

He was then questioned if he sees himself at Lyon for a long time to which he said, "No, it's an easy answer. [Alexandre] Lacazette was the best in Lyon, but he had to go to Arsenal to become even better."





Depay spent almost 18 months at United and was pretty good for the Red Devils under Louis van Gaal before ​Jose Mourinho took charge and ousted him out of the club.





Speaking about his failure at Manchester United, Depay disclosed that he himself was not happy with his performances at the club. He said, "I know how it works in football. I cannot be anyone else but Memphis. I tried that, and I was not happy with myself. Back in Manchester, I was not happy with myself."





He then concluded by stating his performances are improving because he is happy to play as he said, "How can I be a great football player when you're not happy with yourself? I looked in the mirror and I was not happy, I was sad. Now I'm happy to be myself."





Depay has featured 43 times for Lyon this season and has scored an impressive 13 goals and provided nine assists as he continues to prove himself in a league dominated by a certain Paris Saint-Germain.
