Memphis Depay Can Become World's Best - Arjen Robben

Arjen Robben has tipped his Dutch team mate Depay to become one of the best in the world. Depay scored two spectacular goals for United against Club Brugge and he looks set to shine on.

New Manchester United star Memphis Depay can become one of the world's best players and propel the club to trophy glory, according to Bayern Munich winger Arjen Robben.

Memphis dazzled Red Devils fans with two goals against Club Brugge in the Champions League qualifier on Tuesday in only his third competitive game since joining the English giants from PSV.

Depay Makes Request For United's Number 7 Shirt

Memphis Depay has formally requested the Manchester United number 7 shirt, according to the Mail.
With Angel Di Maria leaving for PSG, the club’s most historic number is now vacant and up for grabs, and will surely be assigned before the start of the season.

Depay wore the number 9 shirt in pre-season, but with the number 7 now vacant, he fancies the challenge.

And newcomer Depay looks like the perfect fit, both in terms of playing style and character. The number 7 shirt has gained its iconic status due not only to the great players who have worn it, but the characters: George Best, Eric Cantona, David Beckham, Cristiano Ronaldo.

Depay Can Match Beckam's Free-Kick Ability

Former Manchester United full-back Denis Irwin believes Memphis Depay has the talent to match the free-kick taking ability of David Beckham.

Ex-England captain Beckham forged a reputation as a set-piece expert while at Old Trafford, and even had the film 'Bend it like Beckham' named after him due to his ability to curl the ball with apparent ease.

And Irwin - who played alongside Beckham under Sir Alex Ferguson for the Red Devils and was something of a free-kick master himself - feels Depay can replicate the skills of the former Real Madrid midfielder.

I Can Be One Of The Best Players In The World - Memphis Depay

Manchester United is the perfect proving ground for Memphis Depay to become the world's best player, according to the Dutch attacker. Memphis Depay believes a "dream" move to the Premier League with Manchester United can help him become the best footballer in the world.

United agreed a deal with PSV for the Netherlands winger's services last week, believed to be in the region of £25million. The 22-year-old has enjoyed a stellar 2014-15, scoring 28 goals in 39 appearances for PSV, helping them to a first Eredivisie title in seven years. Speaking at a sponsor's event in London, Depay believes he can only get better.

I Was Forced To Sign Memphis Depay - Louis Van Gaal

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal says he was "forced" to sign Memphis Depay to prevent him from joining Paris Saint-Germain. It was confirmed on Thursday that winger Depay would move to Old Trafford from PSV for an undisclosed fee, an announcement that ended 12 months of speculation linking the 21-year-old with a transfer to the Premier League.

However, Van Gaal insists that - in an ideal world - he would not have delved into the transfer market until the end of the season.
