It has been a week to forget for Memphis Depay.

First reports emerged that Manchester United were "fed up" with his attitude, and now it appears he was wearing the wrong shirt during the Netherlands 3-2 defeat by the Czech Republic on Tuesday, a loss which meant the Netherlands failed to qualify fo Euro 2016 next summer.

Depay was wearing a shirt in that game with the flag of Iceland, instead of the Czech Republic, embroidered on it. The Netherlands played Iceland last month, hence the text under the flags on Depay's shirt "3 September 2015".

All of Depay's team-mates had the correct shirt, with the right text and flag on it.

Earlier this week, former Netherlands international Youri Mulder said: "He played one good match for United, against Club Brugge [in the Champions League]," Mulder told NOS as quoted by Goal.

"In the Premier League he suffers, yet his attitude suggests that he is a big star.

"It seems that people at Manchester United are starting to get fed up with this."
