Remember that Memphis Depay chap who was a universally accepted as a massive flop at Manchester United?
Yeah, well he’s after doing something very special.
After a disappointing 18 months at Old Trafford, the Dutchman was shipped over to Ligue 1 in January in a deal worth around £15million. He has been impressive for Lyon since making the move, but there’s no doubt over what his most jaw-dropping moment was.
That came during their 4-0 win over Toulouse on Saturday.
The winger took possession of the ball near the halfway line, swiveled in the centre circle, spotted the goalkeeper off his line and absolutely rocketed the ball into the net from miles out.
Maybe United installing that buy-back option into his contract when he moved to Lyon wasn’t such a bad idea after all.
