Memphis Depay will maybe remain just another unsuccessful transfer after the end of the Ferguson’s era. The Dutchman signed his contract with The Red Devils on 12th June 2015, but the forward couldn’t show his best at Old Trafford. He was described as one of the hottest prospects in football. Depay had just become the top goal-scorer of the Dutch Eredivisie with 22 goals. In addition, he was a part of the Dutch national team at the World Cup 2014, which won the bronze medals. That’s why Manchester United paid £25 m. for the forward.
However, Memphis Depay started in only 16 games in the last campaign. He only managed to score 2 league goals in 29 matches. The Dutchman has scored 7 goals in 55 matches for Manchester United in all competitions and has totally lost his place among the starting eleven. Moreover, Jose Mourinho is a coach, who will be impressed by a player very difficultly! The Portuguese manager has only given Depay 20 minutes of playing time this season.
So, it will be the most logical thing Memphis Depay leave The Red Devils this winter. On the other hand, Jose Mourinho knows very well that the Dutchman has the needed qualities to play for Manchester United, but the coach, himself is under pressure and Jose Mourinho hasn’t enough time to wait Depay to start scoring. The Portuguese manager needs points and he needs it now! However, Mourinho will surely give Depay another chance to play and if the Dutchman keeps with the average performance, he is going to leave. That’s because the competition for the starting line-up in Manchester United is very big and not everybody can get on with the pressure. Because you must show the best of you every single match if you are Man United player – otherwise you are just leaving the club…
