Depay downplays Robben row

Memphis Depay has stressed he does not have any problems with Arjen Robben after the pair were involved in a heated argument during and after Netherlands' 5-0 friendly win over Ivory Coast at the weekend.

The Lyon star reacted angrily after being overlooked by Robben during a counter-attack, with the Bayern Munich man in turn not happy with his team-mate's response.

"It was just a bit of miscommunication on the pitch," the 23-year-old told De Telegraaf.

"We talked about what happened and it is all in the past now."

Depay is slowly returning to form after a difficult spell with United, but he feels he is not there just yet.

"I am not entirely satisfied about the last two friendlies with Oranje," he added.

"There are still a few things to improve.

"But it is a good thing that I am involved in goals and dangerous situations again."
