The most important for me, what is expected of me, are goals and assists. For the rest, I do my best.
— Memphis Depay
Good is not good enough at United.
I want to become a star. Failure is not an option.
I heard people compare me to Cristiano Ronaldo.
In Manchester, I always worked as I had to. For me, personally, it wasn't all that easy.
I take risks sometimes, and it's not the best choice. I have to take that kind of risk to become one of the best players in the world. If that's what I want to be, I cannot just play simple.
I'm focused on football and my career. No one really has to doubt that. Outside, I do other things that make me happy.
It is something special coming back to Manchester.
Leaving Manchester United? That was not complicated.
To win, you have to score; if I can do that frequently, my job is done.
I should be playing every match.
First and foremost, I want to play well.
I live day by day.
I learn from my failures, but I will always try technical things; I will always try to take pleasure and do great things.
Lyon is a big club, but not one of the five best in Europe.
I'm honest - of course I want to be a legend.
I take risks; sometimes I lose the ball. It happens. This is the football.
In the Premier League, you always have to be at your best. You get forced to get the best out of yourself.
I have to play with discipline in midfield.
You learn from your mistakes. Those moments they will come, and I will work and focus on it.
I have to do my job, so then yeah, maybe in time I can be a legend. But to have those positive sounds from the fans and the legends that talk about me, I'm grateful for that.
I cannot become the best in the world by staying in Lyon; that's clear.
Apparently, the things I do outside of the football are not taken as positives. I don't care, but sometimes it amazes me.
Everyone knows the history between me and Man United wasn't successful. I didn't want it like that.
I have no bitterness towards Mourinho. I did what I had to do in training. Of course, I didn't understand his choices, but he was the boss. I had to accept those choices.
Let's be honest: doesn't everyone look at Ronaldo's free kicks? I've looked at a lot of his technique, but I do it in my own way. I have my own style and try not to do the same.
Great players play all matches.
It's important for me to play every match the best I can.
I get up every morning and thank God for giving me the opportunity to play football.
Sometimes I play as simply as possible, in one or two touches. But I also make bad decisions, I make mistakes, and I try too-complicated things.
I want to go to a club like Real Madrid, Barcelona, Chelsea, Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain, or Bayern Munich.
If you want a left winger who plays simple, I'm not the good player.
I want to aim as high as possible. I want to become the best player in the world.
I always dreamed about the Premier League.
I have a lot of expectations on myself. That's important.
I will put pressure on myself to play good every game.
I'm not a football player 24 hours a day.
Sometimes I wonder if people realise how beautiful and honourable I find it to play for my country.
Once you lose connection with the coach, it gets difficult.
It does not matter to me. I can play from the left, the right, or attack through the middle.
To stay positive, you have to be very strong mentally.
I don't always feel like a valued player.
What am I missing to be the best in the world? Honestly, nothing in terms of quality, just consistency, and that's not arrogance.
Ask any player: we all want to play in the best clubs and the best championships.
Of course I want to be the best in the world; I want to play against big teams and against big stars.
I want to go to a city that suits me and a club that suits me, to a team that really wants to play football.
