‘I saw Van Gaal at Dirk Kuyt’s testimonial and we didn’t really speak about it,’ he said. ‘Certain things that happened I don’t want to say now in public.
‘Maybe when I write a book some day I will speak about it. There were some miscommunications but I cannot blame that or a particular thing for the way things happened.
‘I still speak with lads from United and I wish everybody the best. Manchester is still red!’

Depay also refuted suggestions he was angry with Wayne Rooney after a story told by the ex-England captain over the weekend.
Rooney claimed he told Depay to ‘keep his head down’ after being scolded by Van Gaal, only for the Dutchman to turn up in a red leather jacket and cowboy boots the next day.
‘Some people can’t take a joke and me and Wayne are very good friends,’ he added.
‘I don’t have a red leather jacket out of my thousand leather jackets! I understand what he meant with it and that’s it.
‘It’s in the past and I’m a flamboyant guy but that doesn’t mean I couldn’t be smarter. I’ve become more mature.’
