Mempis Depay is signing on the dotted line… (Picture: Twitter)
Manchester United today agreed a deal to sign PSV striker Memphis Depay for £22.4million subject to the Dutchman passing a medical.
It was believed United’s arch rivals Liverpool had been in talks to sign the Eredivisie’s top scorer until Louis van Gaal swooped in to hijack the move.
PSV coach Phillp Cocu told his squad this morning that Depay, has agreed a move to Manchester and he was congratulated by all his teammates.
A few hours later Manchester United’s official Twitter account confirmed their first signing of what promises to be a busy summer.
SOOOO – Who is Memphis Depay and why is he such a good signing for the red side of Manchester?
1. He knows his way to the back of the net

Wait, what’s that Memphis? You want to score a screamer after coming on as a substitute in the World Cup? Oh, go on then…
7. He’s a fans man
