Lyon ace Memphis Depay moved too soon to Manchester United in his career.
That's the belief of his former coach Cor Pot.
"I found Memphis especially a very positive boy," Pot told voetbalprimeur. "You already saw that it was a very great talent, maybe he went to Manchester United a bit too early, and that was all too fast, he was just a basic player in Eindhoven, Lyon was a good step for Memphis. it's fantastic now.
"He keeps on developing himself - not only as a player, but also as a person - Memphis gets a bit calmer, does not do any crazy things anymore, but at the time he was a bit shy, of course you had that fuss with that hat extravagant behavior. That seems a bit over now, I think he's doing fine."
And Memphis' former coach is also backing him to make it at a top club in the future.
"I think it's pretty good that he acknowledges it, it's a lot of self-confidence to say, 'This is not my ceiling. I want to go higher'. He's now in a strong competition and if he continues to do well, he can certainly take a step, to Paris Saint-Germain for example, I can see him there, or at English top club, he certainly can."
