Depay ready to take his chance

Manchester United winger Memphis Depay claims he is ready to take his chance if promoted back to the starting XI by Red Devils boss Louis van Gaal.

Depay has struggled for regular first-team action since arriving at Old Trafford this summer, while van Gaal has also expressed concerns that the

Dutch international might not be able to adapt to his philosophy.

"Of course, it's difficult when you're on the bench but it's going better right now," Depay said.

"If I get my chance to play, I will take it.

"I think lots of things have changed. I'm in a new club right now and it's a different level compared to the Dutch league.

"Such things are playing a big role when you're trying to find your way and it was a bit easy at the start but then I fell back and you could see it in the way I played.

"However, you can assume I'm busy with working on that and getting back to the top.

"I feel fit and I'm trying to show on the training ground that I'm doing my best to perform well."
