Barcelona signing Memphis Depay mocks Man Utd critics: I drive a Rolls Royce and do what I want!

Barcelona signing Memphis Depay has hit out at his Manchester United critics.

Depay refused to listen to Wayne Rooney's advice on how to conduct himself at Old Trafford – by turning up to a reserve game in a Rolls Royce while wearing a cowboy hat.

Depay, who has just joined Barcelona after allowing his contract with Lyon to expire, was filmed taking private jets, partying in Dubai – and performing a self-penned rap song about flopping at United while sitting behind the wheel of his latest Roller.

He is unrepentant about his behaviour in the documentary, called With Both Feet.

Depay said: “My whole life is upside down. They talk about the headlines in papers, me wearing a hat and all the f****** s***.

“They say, in Manchester I flopped. But let's go, man. I drive a Rolls Royce, this is my life.

“I was not given anything, I have earned it all with both feet. I am not good, I am not bad. Just don't forget to check my past, check my scars.

“I am a lion, I am a king. I have fashion in my blood and only big dreams. I don't care what people think about me. It is my life and if I am the black sheep, so it is. I do what I want anyway."
