Louis van Gaal has finally gotten sick of waiting for Memphis Depay to come good.

The Manchester United manager dropped the Dutch winger who has failed to make an impact in the Premier League this season.

Depay has scored just once in his eight Premier League appearances this season and has struggled to live up to his reputation as the superstar the Red Devils were waiting for.

There were rumours last week that assistant manager Ryan Giggs had pulled Depay aside to warn the youngster to tone down his flashy lifestyle as it was beginning to affect his on-the-pitch performances.

But Depay won’t have the chance to put that right in the early stages against Everton as he is forced to start on the bench.
