Given the ‘ol heave-ho’ by manager Jose Mourinho in the last transfer window, Memphis Depay gave a glimpse into what could have been this weekend by scoring an absolute pearler for new club Lyon.
The Dutchman left Manchester United in a deal worth around £15million after failing to set Old Trafford alight during a damp 18 month spell, despite his iffy showing, the Dutchman showed he still has plenty to offer, if this long ranger humdinger is anything to go by.
During his sides 4-0 mauling of Toulouse this weekend, the former PSV striker see’s the hapless opposition keeper come way off his line, without a moments hesitation, Depay sends a powerful looping effort into the net from the comfort of the half-way line.
Superb.
Suddenly that buy-back option in his contract doesn’t seem like such a daft idea.
