Netherlands manager Danny Blind says Manchester United star Memphis Depay must learn to function in a team environment before he selects him again for the Dutch national team.

Depay was a surprise omission from the Netherlands squad for upcoming friendlies against Wales and Germany.

"I think Depay is a player for the future," Blind said.

"But there are other issues we'll look at - maybe Louis van Gaal has also mentioned that.

"In football, you must also function in a team - and he doesn't always do that. I told him that when I called him to say he wasn't in the squad. It's something he has to learn."
