PSV Eindhoven’s Memphis Depay has become the latest player linked with a summer transfer with Manchester United.

If manager Louis van Gaal intends to sign everyone he has commented on they will be able to start a new league just for United reserve teams, however, like many of the other names linked with a move to the North of England, there come rumours about who else is interested. It is believed that Tottenham Hotspur have put a £14.5million bid in for the Dutchman in a hope to beat van Gaal to him as well as the French big spenders Paris St-Germain also showing an interest.

Depay has 20 goals to his name this season and is the leading goalscorer in the Eredivisie. Some worry that he may struggle to score quite as many goals in the Premier League but his successful season comes on the back of a superb World Cup performance for Holland where he became the youngest Dutchman to score a World Cup goal at the age of 20 and was part of the three-man shortlist for the tournament’s “Best Young player.”

After showing such promise in the last year PSV have confirmed they expect the winger to leave at the end of the season. With former Holland boss, van Gaal already knowing Depay well and how he likes to play it seems likely that if he were to move to the Premier League he would be tempted by Manchester United. The Man United gaffer travelled to Amsterdam recently to watch Depay play in Holland’s friendly where they beat Spain 2-0 in March.

Van Gaal wants to bring some pace into his team. To compete in Europe it has been proven by the likes of Barcelona and Bayern Munich that you need pacy players to succeed. Angel di Maria who was brought in last season hasn't been as successful as the gaffer would've hoped so it's understandable he is now looking towards people he had around him before so he can bring some confidence and young talent into the squad.

The 21-year-old brings everything van Gaal could possibly want. After coming into his own for the last two years Depay is now ready to show the Premier League what he is made. While van Gaal seems to be keeping his options open and having a look at players from all leagues it will be unlikely that he can find a player that could fit straight into the United team and perform. Depay is used to playing against some of the best teams in Europe and showed at the World Cup in Brazil that he can rise to the occasion.

Having excelled in the Maracana surely Old Trafford is the natural next step?
