According to the Daily Mail, the fee is said to be around £25m, and Manchester United beat Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain to his highly sought after signature.
Louis van Gaal is well acquainted with Depay from his time as manager of the Netherlands national team, and the Express report that the Dutchman personally persuaded the winger to a switch to Old Trafford.
Depay is the Eredivisie Dutch League’s top scorer this term having netted 21 times, and has emerged as one of Europe’s most exciting attacking prospects following his outstanding performances over the past few seasons.
It’s easy to see why…
