5 worst signings of Manchester United since Sir Alex Ferguson retired

#3 Memphis Depay

Memphis Depay also struggled at Old Trafford — Depay failed to live up to the expectations.

Another player who was brought in by Van Gaal to Old Trafford. Memphis Depay had a forgetful time at Man United. The Dutch International was one of Europe’s promising young players when he joined the Red Devils in 2015 in a £30m deal on the back winning Eredivisie player of the year with PSV Eindhoven.

He got the No.7 shirt, but he failed to carry out the responsibilities which came along with it. Memphis tried hard to establish himself as a regular in the team, but nothing seemed to click for the Dutchman, and he was eventually sold to Lyon after he failed to appear in Jose Mourinho's plans.

About the author

A sports enthusiast and an avid follower of football.

Since childhood I was encouraged to play cricket and in no time it became a hobby. Gradually I found interest in other sports also.

Football is in my blood and I love the electrifying ambiance that surrounds it. I often watch the pre and post match analysis of a match and try to learn how to analyze a football game.

The thing that intrigues me the most is that there are so many things happening behind the scenes that are oblivious to our naked eyes. The technological advancements that has been made are phenomenal.

I like analyzing a game from a statistical point of view. Being a data guy myself , I am firm believer of providing insights through facts and data. Though a game is always unpredictable , analyzing it from different dimensions can provide some very interesting conclusions.
