Former Southampton winger Eljero Elia has revealed he warned fellow countryman Memphis Depay against a move to Manchester United.
Depay has endured a tough time since moving to Old Trafford, and has played just 20 minutes of Premier League football over four matches since Jose Mourinho took charge in the summer.
The Dutch international arrived in the North West to much fanfare when he joined from PSV for £25million in 2015, but little has gone right for the winger, who has struggled for confidence in his 56 appearances.
Elia, who currently plays for Feyenoord in the Eridivisie, admits he could see the problems arising for the 22-year-old and actually tried to persuade his friend to take different option.
