The 21-year-old joined the Red Devils from PSV Eindhoven earlier this summer in a £23million deal.
But after he was unveiled by United, Depay cited his father leaving him at the age of four for not having his surname on his shirt.
"Those things are a part of my life," Depay told the BBC.
"It is not a part of football. It is a different thing.

"I have a life next to football. I have been through little situations.

"I am the person I am. Everybody has to respect that."
