Memphis Depay is reportedly interested in joining Manchester United during the January transfer window, which may disappoint West Ham who were hoping to sign him.
Sport (January 7 print edition, page 6) reports that 86-capped Dutch international Memphis Depay is set to return to Manchester United, six years after leaving the club.
This news is likely to disappoint West Ham manager David Moyes, who has taken an interest in bringing Depay to the London Stadium.
Depay will almost certainly leave the Camp Nou in January or in the summer and a return to the Premier League is on the cards for him.
However, the report states that he wants to return to his old club Manchester United in January, where he has some unfinished business.
Memphis Depay signed for United in 2015. However, his time at the club was unsuccessful and he was eventually sold to French club Olympique Lyonnais after just two seasons.
During his time at Manchester United, Depay struggled to consistently perform at a high level, and was often criticized for his lack of discipline on and off the pitch.
He failed to establish himself as a regular starter for the team and was unable to live up to the high expectations that had been placed on him following his transfer from Dutch club PSV Eindhoven.
And now Depay could return to United under Dutch manager Erik ten Hag to fill the void left by Ronaldo’s departure late last year and perhaps prove the doubters wrong.
