Manchester United fans are looking up with some serious interest on their faces here in the Football Transfer Tavern as Metro report via The Sun that they are chasing the man billed the ‘Dutch Cristiano Ronaldo’.

The man in question is PSV Eindhoven star Memphis Depay who may only be 20-years-old but is seeing his reputation grow in tandem with his goalscoring tally.

Given he has managed to net 16 in 21 appearances this season, it comes as no surprise that the Red Devils want to lure him away from the Eredivisie.

The player will reportedly cost Louis van Gaal in the region of £10 million and as one of our punters notes over a beer and burger over by the bar, that is small change to a club like United who have always managed to land the best young talent in Europe and will want this summer to be no different.

A few of our punters have made the point that caution should be exercised as cutting it in the Dutch top flight is not quite the same as peaking in England, yet we are holding out hope for this starlet.
