The 21-year-old winger moves to Old Trafford after a sensational
season in Holland which saw him score 22 league goals and fire PSV Eindhoven to
the Eredivisie title.
Speaking earlier to, Sky Sports News HQ reporter James Cooper said: "Memphis Depay spent the whole of
Monday here at the Carrington training ground going through his medical checks
and tests. That was completed and he left here about 5.30pm this evening."
Depay has spoken of his delight
at the move and is confident he will be able to make a big impact in the
Premier League next season.
"I want to improve myself
but Dutch players have played also in the Premier League and I spoke with many
of them,” Depay said.
“I believe I can be a big player
in the Premier League and I showed my ability in the World Cup.
"I am very excited. I was
always reading about the Premier League. It has been a big dream and one that
came true.”
Depay’s arrival is the first in what should be a busy summer for
United with uncertainty surrounding futures of stars such as David De Gea,
Radamel Falcao and Robin van Persie.
United chief executive Ed
Woodward assured supporters last week that Louis van Gaal will have a squad
capable of competing for all trophies next season and promised Depay is just
the start.
"In regards to this summer's
transfer activity, we have already started implementing our plans and last week
announced that Memphis Depay, viewed as one of the most exciting young players
in Europe, will be joining the first team,” Woodward said.
"We expect to be active
again during the window, but it's too early to give guidance on transfers or
wages at this point.”
