Depay, who scored 21 goals in 28 league appearances for PSV this season as they won a first Eredivisie title in seven years, had been strongly linked with a move to United’s fierce rival Liverpool but has rejected a switch to Anfield in favour of linking up with his international team-mates in Daley Blind and Robin van Persie next season.
Take a look at a selection of tweets welcoming the talented youngster to Manchester with open arms:
