Man Utd new boy Memphis Depay shows class with stunning free-kick
MANCHESTER UNITED fans will be itching to see Memphis Depay pull on the Red Devils shirt.
Memphis Depay PSV stunning free-kick
Depay agreed a £25million move to join Louis van Gaal's side last Thursday.
The 21-year-old PSV ace has become one of the hottest properties in European football, and his sensational free-kick was a proof in point.
And in his final home match for the Dutch champions, Depay hit a swerving right-footed set piece from long range that left the goalkeeper no chance.

His stunning goal took his league tally to 22 for the campaign and he gave PSV the lead before Jetro Willems sealed a 2-0 win over Heracles to leave them 10 points clear of second-placed Ajax.
Depay admitted he came close to joining French giants Paris Saint-Germain, but chose United instead because of Louis van Gaal, telling the Sun: "I always knew United were interested but it was nothing concrete. Then at the last moment they called and I spoke with their coach.
