Depay -- a goalscorer in Van Gaal's Dutch side at the 2014 World Cup
-- on Tuesday told Dutch media
organisation NOS: "When I spoke to Danny Blind, it was a very good conversation.
"I think I'm a team player and the other players in the team also think that. I don't think I'm in a difficult path of my career as the media talk, but I just think my form isn't very good right now.
"I'm still working hard. Just because I don't show the exact form that I showed at the World Cup or last year, it doesn't mean I don't work hard.
"Right now, I feel good again. Other people don't see what I'm doing in training so people think I'm not busy with football but that's not true.''
Depay admits he is finding life on the bench difficult but has emphasised he is feeling positive about the efforts he is putting in to rectify his situation at United.
He said: "Of course, it's difficult when you're on the bench but it's going better right now. If I get my chance to play, I will take it.
"I think lots of things have changed. I'm in a new club right now and it's a different level compared to the Dutch league.
"Such things are playing a big role when you're trying to find your way and it was a bit easy at the start but then I fell back and you could see it in the way I played.
"However, you can assume I'm busy with working on that and getting back to the top.
"I feel fit and I'm trying to show on the training ground that I'm doing my best to perform well.''
