Manchester United are the centre of all the big transfer gossip these days, but for fans seeking something more concrete, the news out of PSV this morning could be just what you are looking for
Memphis Depay, the emerging star of Dutch football, has regularly been linked with a move to the Premier League since featuring for Holland at last year’s World Cup, with Liverpool, Tottenham and Arsenal all rumoured to have varying degrees of interest in the 21-year-old.
But the strongest links have always been with Manchester United and Depay’s former international boss Louis van Gaal, and with PSV sealing the Eredivisie crown yesterday with a 4-1 win over Heerenveen (which included the stunning free-kick posted below from Depay), the club have confirmed United’s interest in what would be a £20million-plus move.

In December, PSG made an attempt to sign him, but Depay declined. They might make another attempt in the summer. Spurs weren't mentioned

This is not my information, this was disclosed by PSV directors Marcel Brands and Toon Gerbrands on a Dutch tv station called Fox Sports

We now know for sure Depay has declined to join Spurs and PSV and that he's determined to make his big move this summer

If he can bring this sort of form to England, he’ll be one hell of an addition, wherever he ends up.
