I know it's early days, and it's Brugge, but the fact of the matter is he's been better than di Maria was for us in his entire time on the OT pitch. Correct?
 
Quite simply our best attacker right now. Makes runs, looks to create, takes on shots, just so positive compared to a lot of our players. It's great to see someone like this in the team. Confidence will just keep growing for the lad.
 
Took his goals excellently, but it must be said that Brugge seem to think tackling him is optional.

Another point added to the already large list of what Van Gaal has gotten wrong at United. Depay looks a much better player wide left than he does as a number 10. I am glad Val Gaal did not persist with playing him as a number 10.

He played one bloody game there...

He's a bit rough around the edges but you can't deny he conjures up similar feelings to when you were watching a young Ronaldo. People said the same about Nani but this is different - that arrogance is something Nani never had.
 
Well that should put an end to Ashley darn Young being g a regular forward player for Manchester United. Hopefully now just Pedro in for Mata and we're looking a threat out there. I hope the boss is patient with Adnan too, as I think the long term reward will be brilliant too.

Anyways, back to Memphis, been brilliant, not just with his goals but his link play. Will be nice to see a hat trick completed in front of the Stretford End. Gwarn my young Dreamchaser.
 
People needs to calm down with their hyperboles at the moment. Those were two great goals, but poor defending because if the opposing manager did his job, he would know not to show Depay his right foot. I want to see Depay perform like this on a consistent basis and when he becomes double teamed and forced to use his weaker foot.

Anyway during the second goal, it is good to know he knows how to whip and nae nae :lol:
 
I like him very much. I am not sure he'll score goals like his first against better opponents, actually, I think he definitely won't, but it's good that he is scoring them when he has the chance to do so.

What I liked about both goals is his first touch and touch after that, his technique is very consistent and that will probably make him more consistent player for us than Nani has been. I am mentioning Nani because they are obviously from the same ilk and I like them both.

Now let's go for a hattrick.
 
Get Pedro on the other side and our scoring options from wide will be ridiculous
 
What kind of shit celebration was that? :confused:

But the gooooalss :drool: I can excuse him.
 
Ok his goals were the fecking bomb

but even without them he has been our biggest goal threat. Tearing that right back a new one with his speed. Some careless passing at times but who gives a feck when you come up with that magic
 
See what happens when players play in their best position ? when he cuts in from the left he is so much more of a threat then when played at no.10
 
@acnumber9 and that is why Depay should be played. Feck Young, we need to develop this type of talent and not lambast him calling for a 30 year old to replace him for not immediately setting the world alight in his second premier league match.

As a 10? He played the whole of preseason their and yes; one competitive game. It was a pointless experiment if you ask me. Anyway, I agree he does have some swagger to his game and hopefully Van Gaal will not restrict his individualistic tendencies to have him more conservative.
 
I can see Memphis being really dangerous against the better sides in the league this year. It's tough for him in games like our first two where the opposition is sitting deep but against Arsenal, City or Liverpool, when they actually come out and attack us, he's going to find so much space.
 
Also, dare I say it, but he has a style of play very similar to Ronaldo. Am I the only one seeing this?
 
Finally we look like we've replaced Ronaldo with another player who can produce magic on the biggest stage. Get Pedro in and we'll be looking very good, especially if Rooney gets his act together and scores those 25 goals he promised!

I said we would've had a stronger team with Young on Friday night. It doesn't mean Depay hasn't been great tonight and his being great doesn't mean I was wrong on Friday. Football isn't about petty point scoring. I'm not a child.

It's the cutting inside and shooting coupled with the close control and sheer quick feet. It is like watching Ronaldo all over again. I'll be more than happy if he goes on to replicate him (without the whole Madrid nonsense this time)
