Memphis Depay has finally completed his dream move to Manchester United by signing a four-year contract, with an option for an extra year.
The Dutchman arrives from PSV Eindhoven and in his first interview after putting on the red shirt, Depay hailed Van Gaal the world's best boss. He said,
This is a dream come true for me; to play for the biggest club in the world and also to have the chance to work with someone who I believe is the best manager in the world, Louis van Gaal. I have great belief in my ability and I work hard to strive to achieve my dreams. I have been at PSV Eindhoven since I was 12 years old and I would like to thank them for everything. It was a great moment when we won the league and I was so happy to be part of that. This is now a new chapter in my life and one that I am looking forward to.
At the same time, United boss, Louis Van Gaal heaped praise on Memphis Depay, saying he has arrived at a huge club. He said,
I know Memphis well from our time working together in the Netherlands national team. He is a young versatile player who has the ability to play in a number of different positions. It will take time for Memphis to get used to the rhythm of the Premier League but I have no doubt that he has the potential to become a great footballer for this club and he is at the right club to continue the good work he has done so far.
Welcome to Manchester United, Mehmphis Depay!
