Dutch unrest as Memphis Depay and Robin van Persie clash

Manchester United forward Memphis Depay has been involved in a spat with former Red Devils striker Robin van Persie during a Holland training session.

Following reports of a bust-up occurring between the pair prior to Saturday’s 2-1 victory over Kazakhstan, Dutch national team boss Danny Blind confirmed yesterday there had been an incident but was keen to play it down.

Blind, quoted by www.telegraaf.nl, said: “There are sometimes situations in training where players think different. Then you talk about it. That’s what happened and then it’s over.”
