Criticism does not affect me - Depay

Memphis Depay says criticism does not distract him as
he is focused on improving his own game for
Manchester United and Netherlands.

Manchester United and Netherlands attacker Memphis Depay
has insisted that negative comments do not affect him.

Depay has struggled for consistency this season following his
move from PSV to Old Trafford.

Some below-par performances in the Premier League have led
to criticism from fans and pundits alike, but Depay is
determined to ignore anything that does not help him improve
as a player.

"Any criticism does not affect me. I am not really thinking about
it," Depay told Voetbal Inside.

"I can only work with it if criticism is constructive. I just ignore
anything else. Everybody will have their own opinion about me,
but that's part of life.

"I play a lot of games at Manchester and there is little time to
rest. It is not easy to play two games per week. My body is still
getting used to it.

"I try to make as many steps forward in my career as possible. I
am right in the middle of my development. Joining United has
been the right move. I am very happy here."

The 21-year-old is currently away on international duty as
Netherlands try to secure a place in the playoffs for Euro 2016
and he is hopeful the Dutch can leapfrog Turkey in their section.

"Everybody is confident that Turkey will drop points in the next
two games and that we will win both matches," he added.
"That is what we will be trying to achieve."

Oranje sit fourth in Group A with 10 points from eight games,
trailing third-placed Turkey by two points. The Dutch meet
Kazakhstan on Saturday before hosting Czech Republic three
days later.
