Memphis Depay may just need to get comfortable on the bench.
The Dutch winger was dropped for Manchester United’s 3-0 victory over Everton at Goodison Park and replaced by Ander Herrera in the starting XI.
And Herrera’s man of the match display means that Depay could struggle to convince Louis van Gaal to put him back into the starting line-up.
The Spaniard played the most significant part of United’s comprehensive victory, coming up with a goal and an assist either side of half-time which is the exact same contribution that Depay has made in eight Premier League appearances this season.
His passing accuracy wasn’t half bad either.
