In case you didn’t know…
Memphis Depay, 25, joined Manchester United in 2015 for a reported transfer fee £25mil from PSV Eindhoven. But he failed to display the same form that led to the move to Old Trafford for the Red Devils, scoring just two times from 33 Premier League appearances. In 2017, Depay moved to Olympique Lyonnais.
Since joining the French side, he has scored 39 goals from 116 matches across all competitions. He also wears the no.10 jersey for the Dutch national team, which also signifies his improvement after joining the French league.
The heart of the matter
In an interview with Mirror, Memphis explained that he was too young at the time of joining United and that level of immaturity saw him flop in English conditions. He said:
He also told how the slow-paced footballing style of the French League helped him become a Lyon superstar.
What’s next?
As per Depay’s comments, the 25-year-old has no intention of leaving the French side this summer. Hence, he might play later today against AFC Bournemouth at Dean Court.
