Great things were expected of the Dutchman when he left PSV for Manchester United last summer, but Memphis endured a tough campaign which saw him start only 16 Premier League matches.
Speaking to Unscriptd, Memphis admitted he was frustrated with his first season in England, but insisted he will fight to impress new boss Jose Mourinho next season.
Memphis said, “It’s not been a bad year, but it’s not been a good year. It’s been right there in the middle.
“I have more expectations from myself and the fans as well, that’s normal.
“It’s been new for me, this season, to play in the Premier League. The experience that I get this season is important, also the things I have to deal with.
“Sometimes I’ve made a mistake or I haven’t played good for a game and you get put on the bench. It’s new for me as well.
“Last season I was playing and I was scoring every game and this season it’s 50-50.
“I have some games on the bench for 90 minutes. That’s new and it’s hard. Of course it p***** you off, to be honest, sometimes.
“But you need to keep going and keep believing in yourself because you are the first person who must believe in yourself.
“No matter what, you have to always keep your chest out. Sometimes it’s hard, it’s really hard.
“But I’m still young, 22. If you believe in something that you can achieve, I think you will make it if you put everything into it.
“That’s my motto – dream, believe, achieve. I don’t want to give up on anything.”
