Memphis Depay has an ice-cold two-word message on his custom headband

Memphis Depay has an ice-cold two-word message on his custom headband.

Depay wore a headband for the Netherlands' friendly matches against Canada and Iceland ahead of Euro 2024.

And he continued to wear the eye-catching headband in his side's Euros opener against Poland on Sunday.

His decision to sport the headwear was slammed by Dutch media as they criticised the star forward's attire.

But the former Manchester United man explained that he had opted for the headband because it helped him sweat and revealed that his girlfriend was a fan of the accessory.

"The previous match I made 20 minutes of time for the press in the mixed zone, and I haven't had any questions about it," the 30-year-old said after the Iceland game.

"Who cares? It looks great on me and helps me sweat. My girlfriend likes that sweatband. Amazing, right?

“It's a new look and I feel good about it. I'm already thinking about what colour I'm going to wear in Germany."

Depay's bullish response to the criticism has inspired him to have the words 'who cares' on his headband.

minute.

Former Manchester United forward Wout Weghorst, who entered the fray in the second-half, grabbed a late winner as he tucked home from inside the box.
