Manchester United fans have demanded the return of Memphis Depay after the Dutch ace scored a stunning solo goal for Lyon at the weekend.
The 25-year-old, who spent 18 months at Old Trafford from June 2015 to January 2017, bagged Lyon's first in a 2-0 win over Metz on Saturday, taking his tally to 11 goals in 15 appearances for club and country so far this season.
At the Groupama Stadium, Depay received the ball from Jason Denayer on the edge of the centre circle, before opening his body up to drive at the defence.
The Dutch forward beat one man with a sharp step-over before driving towards the box, side-stepping another defender on his way into the area.
After leaving the Metz team in his wake, the PSV product let fly from the edge of the penalty area, with his low drive zipping past keeper Alexandre Oukidja and nestling in the far corner.
The scintillating strike takes Depay's tally to five goals in his last five matches in all competitions, which is identical to Man Utd's record as a team over the same number of games.
The Red Devils have struggled to convert chances this season, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side netting more than once on just two occasions so far this term.
One of those came in Sunday's 3-1 win over newly-promoted Norwich City, thanks to goals from Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and Scott McTominay, but there are still concerns over the productivity of United's front line.

And some Man Utd supporters have urged the club to re-sign Depay in a bid to bring more goals to the side, despite the Dutchman recording just seven goals and six assists in his first spell at Old Trafford.
One fan tweeted: "Why did United sell this chap again?"
While another added: "Bring back @Memphis. Would be class under a fluid attacking side with energy around him and not a pragmatic military style of LvG that restricted him.
"You can’t say he wouldn’t add depth either and give us other options! Until then keep smashing them in for Lyon."
