Former Netherlands international Pierre van Hooijdonk states Manchester United signing Memphis Depay needs "someone to be an a**hole to him" if he is to make progress.
The youngster has faltered after arriving at Old Trafford from PSV Eindhoven in the summer, with the star's attitude repeatedly questioned, while he was dropped by Louis van Gaal for Manchester United's 3-0 win at Everton at the weekend.
What to do with a guy like Memphis? The national team coach knows he needs him in the future. It's obvious that he has exceptional qualities," the 45-year-old wrote in his column for Voetbal International.
"But he needs a type that says: Friend, act normal. Quit screwing around and start playing football. Someone needs to be an a**hole to him."
