​Depay intent impressing Man Utd boss Mourinho

Memphis Depay hopes to catch the eye of new boss Jose Mourinho in pre-season training following a disappointing debut campaign.

The 22-year-old Dutch international admits he struggled for confidence as the season wore on but he is determined to bounce back next campaign and prove he belongs at Old Trafford.

"It's never nice to be criticised, but it is part of the game and I have to deal with it," Memphis told Fox Sports.

"The season did not go as planned and that hurt my confidence a bit. It's now up to me to deal with this situation and get back on track.

"I think every attacker is intuitive. You have to make decisions on when to go for an individual action. The old Memphis, who beat every opponent, will soon be back again.

"I did not play as many games as I hoped and I am obviously disappointed about that. I had different expectations. But I have to deal with that.

"It's now on to next season. I have to prove my worth during pre-season."
