Memphis Depay has been caught smoking a shisha pipe during a visit to Rotterdam as his Manchester United career goes from bad to worse.
The Dutchman, who cost £25million in 2015 but is yet to start in the Premier League this season, was pictured in the Shisha and Tapas Lounge last Sunday.
According to The Sun, Depay smoked an entire shisha pipe as he drank soda water with a friend and three female companions.

Research carried out by the World Health Organisation estimates that an hour-long shisha session is the equivalent of smoking between 100 and 200 cigarettes.
Depay, who is said to have an apartment not far from the venue, has fallen out of favour with Jose Mourinho this season and is set to leave Old Trafford in the January transfer window.
He has made just four appearances from the bench in the top-flight and his last outing came as a substitute in the 4-0 Europa League win over Feyenoord in late November.
A source told the newspaper: 'He was there with a friend watching the Ajax game and they each had a shisha pipe to themselves.

'I've seen Memphis in there a few times, he recently got a flat here and he comes in when it's quiet to smoke shisha.
'He was here with a Dutch rapper called Bollebof not too long ago.'
England duo Jack Wilshere and Raheem Sterling have both been caught holding shisha pipes, with the latter being pictured alongside then Liverpool team-mate Jordon Ibe.
Aston Villa conducted an investigation after a photo of Gabriel Agbonlahor appearing to smoke one in Dubai emerged earlier this year, but the club took no further action.
The pictures could further damage Depay's relationship with Mourinho, who is willing to let the 22-year-old depart next month. Everton are keen to give Depay a chance, although a loan deal is most likely.

Speaking about Depay's situation earlier this month, Mourinho said: 'I still have some bad feelings toward myself because I did not give a real chance to everyone,'
'There are some positions in our squad where we have (an) overbooking.
'The attacking wing position, we have not just the pure wingers, we have also people that can play there. We add Rashford and Rooney, we add these two players to Lingard, Mata, Mkhitaryan, Memphis Depay, Martial, Ashley Young.
'To be honest, people like Ashley Young and Memphis Depay, I didn't give them really a run of matches to play, to prove, so I have this little bad feeling.'
Depay arrives for training this week but he is unlikely to be involved against Middlesbrough
