Lyon star Memphis Depay says he joined Manchester United too soon in his career.

The Dutchman struggled with the Red Devils but has showed his class since joining Lyon in 2017.

He told the Mirror: “My mental state is different. I was 21 back then when I was with United and now I am 25 so obviously I am a more matured human being now, than when I was in Manchester.

“Also there is a difference between the French game and the English game and the main difference is the speed of the ball. In England it goes very fast, attack and defence and attack and defence again.

“The French game you feel more the control and trying to find our moments and we are all more relaxed playing the ball to each other.

“For me I don't know if speed is necessary all the time as it is here because for me it's all about technique but the Premier League is the toughest in the world."
