Marco van Basten “doubts” Memphis can succeed at Barcelona

“I have my doubts that he is a player for Barça,” he was quoted as saying.
“I believe that Memphis is a good player, but I believe he is an artist, an individualist. He does his own thing and continues to do that a bit. I believe that in a team this big, you have to be more of a team player. You have to attack as a group and share the ball. I have the idea he does too much his own thing, and I don’t know if that is sufficient for an elite club.”
