Dutch football legend,  Marco van Basten has accused Barcelona star  Memphis Depay “individualist” rather than a team player.

The former Netherlands national team coach is unsure if the former Manchester United star will settle in at the Catalan club.

“I have my doubts that he is a player for Barça,” van Basten said, as quoted on Barca Blaugranes. “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.”

Memphis Depay joined  Barcelona on  a free transfer this summer, he has made seven appearances for the Camp Nou outfit scoring three goals and assisting one, as they look to catch La Liga leaders Real Madrid.
