Big talk from the Dutchman

Memphis Depay was today unveiled as a Manchester United player, and he’s given his first official interview which should please supporters at Old Trafford.

The winger turned striker is one of the hottest talents in world football, and there has been great excitement about his arrival in the Premier League next season.

The player is massively hyped and in his first to camera piece today, his talk of being compared to two club legends shows he’s not lacking confidence anyway,

“I want to let my feet speak. I want to develop in the Premier League I am young. I hope I can develop and at one time in my career and be like those great legends (Ryan Giggs and Ronaldo) and work hard on it and let’s see. I believe I can be a great player for Manchester United.”

The player also reveals the significance of getting to work with Louis Van Gaal once again,

“I think very important. He give me the opportunity to play in the World Cup and he showed a lot of confidence in me and I think he’s the best trainer in the world and makes me better on the training ground.”

He also chats about the importance of having a strong Dutch feel to Manchester United with Robin van Persie and Daley Blind in the squad, while he is also full of praise for the club and his hopes that he will win trophies next season after his move.

He’s done the talking-now let’s see if he really can let his feet do the rest from here.
