5 youngsters who were tipped to become the next Cristiano Ronaldo at Manchester United

#5 Memphis Depay

Depay had a disastrous time at United

And the man who many consider as one of the worst signings by Manchester United- Memphis Depay.

Louis van Gaal signed Depay from PSV and it the rest are missed chances and disappointing performances. He was given the prestigious No. 7 jersey and was expected to reach new heights with the club.

The man tipped to become the next Ronaldo did show promise but his lack of goals and consistency ended his spell at Manchester United after just two seasons.

With a lot of skills in his bag along with devastating pace, it’s a shame Memphis didn’t prove to be a good signing for Manchester United.

Depay was thought to be the closest in comparison to a young Ronaldo at Manchester United, owing to his skills, pace, and freekick scoring rate.

But as they say certain things are not meant to be and Depay’s stay at United was certainly one of them.
