Why can’t he do this every week?
As sublime as Memphis Depay was against FC Midtjylland on Thursday night, his performance will have Manchester United fans frustrated with the scarcity of showings like it throughout the season.
Depay played a starring role as Manchester United came from 1-0 down on the night, and 3-1 on aggregate, to tear the Danish champions apart in the second half.
The Dutchman completed the 5-1 rout on the night with the above goal but it was a piece of skill he broke out minutes earlier that really caught the eye of the home support.
Depay dragged the studs of his right boot over the ball to slowly drag it towards the right of his marker before suddenly flicking it between his legs with a rabona-style nutmeg and racing into the box.
When he’s on form, he’s on form.
