Manchester United have finalized the £31 million deal to bring in PSV Eindhoven and Dutch international Memphis Depay.
The sought-after 21-year-old winger performed well at the 2014 FIFA World Cup and followed it up with a spectacular showing in the Dutch Eredivisie. Over the past campaign Depay tallied 22 goals, leading PSV to the league title. Now, he will take his talents to Manchester under former international boss Louis van Gaal.
Depay turned down the likes of Liverpool and Paris Saint Germain to make the move to United, and has been welcomed on social media with the hashtag #WelcomeMemphis

With 16 caps for the Netherlands and four seasons under his belt with PSV, Depay is quite well exposed despite his young age. He is well known for his pace,power,skill and most importantly: his goal scoring touch.
Some say that Depay needs to mature as a player, both physically and mentally if he wants to succeed in the Premier League. Regardless, the Dutchman is a great talent that could be an enormous asset to Manchester United for years to come. Here is a fantastic individual performance by the Dutchman
