Man Utd's Memphis Depay Says He Has Put on 5 Kilos of Muscle Since Transfer

Manchester United star Memphis Depay has been holding a series of open and honest interviews while on international duty with the Netherlands.

On Tuesday, the former PSV winger spoke aboutย that hatย and his form of late, and he's followed that up with the revelation that he's gained five kilos since making the switch from Eindhoven to Manchester.

The 21-year-old also revealed that he has a personalised chef at his new home in an interview with Deย Telegraafย (via Goal.com).

"

Since Iโ€™ve played for Manchester United, I gained 5 kilos. And that's not fat! Just muscle. It's bizarre.

It also has to do with the heavy schedule in England. Now I weigh 85 kg. When I firstย stood on the scales I thought: 'OK, is this correct?' My body is still developing. Now I'm a little more heavy, so I have to work on that. I'm working a lot on my coordination and starting speed.

[...]

People don't know what I have to do to be fit and be a part of the national team. The work I do, what I have to do in this profession.

"

The Netherlands, who failed to qualify for Euro 2016, face Wales in a friendly match on Friday night.
