He may have looked out of place at Manchester United in recent weeks, but Memphis Depay looks like he is trying to blend in while on international duty.

Depay, who has been left out of United's last two games by Louis van Gaal, has joined up with the Dutch national team ahead of friendlies against France and England.

And the Manchester United winger donned a striking camouflage outfit as he was spotted out and about in the Dutch town of Noordwijk.

The winger was wearing a hooded top and matching tracksuit bottoms in the distinctive design, as he was seen getting out of a car and unloading his luggage.

He had time to stop to sign autographs for one young fan before heading off to join the Holland squad ahead of their first fixture of 2016.

Depay has a chance to prove that his club form, which has been patchy, should not have a negative impact on his international standing, where he is seen as a young star.

With Arjen Robben having pulled out of the squad with injury, Depay could have a chance to star for Danny Blind's side.

The games, against France in Amsterdam and England at Wembley, are also a chance for the Dutch to respond after they failed to qualify for Euro 2016.

Blind's team finished fourth in their group, behind Czech Republic, Iceland and Turkey, although they did start to repair their reputation with a win over Wales in November.
