Memphis Depay is getting ready for his new life in Manchester as a Man United player next season but he's got some work to do according to words he's shared with AD in Holland. The Dutch attacker has explained that as things stand he's planning to move to Manchester on his own, without family to keep him company, but there's a problem - he hasn't got anywhere to live yet. Depay hasn't yet managed to find the time to go house hunting physically and estate agents in Manchester and Cheshire will be looking forward to helping him out. The house hunting for now will have to be restricted to the internet but he'll probably want to find somewhere before he's officially unveiled at Old Trafford as Manchester United first summer transfer.
AD quote the Dutch international as saying "I'm going alone to Manchester. In Eindhoven I live alone now. I have not found a home... First the two internationals with Oranje, then vacation and then move. My friends and family are who I'm going to miss the most. And everything at PSV. I find it truly beautiful that I'm leaving by the front door. Became champion, top scorer, talent of the year and it's now a top transfer for me and a top price for PSV. We have taken good care of each other, haha. A win-win for everyone."
Likeable Depay is clearly hugely looking forward to joining up with Manchester United and his enthusiasm and ambition is infectious. The young footballer has been at times accused of arrogance and a poor attitude but we don't see that, yes he can appear cocky at times but he's one of world football's brightest young stars - better he be a bit starry than boring and nondescript.
Before picking his new house, and we're expecting a flash city centre apartment with hot-tub on the terrace, Depay is going on holiday "I am really looking forward to it. I actually can't wait to start, but I have to be sensible... first take a good holiday. This is necessary, because last season was too long by the World Cup. I'm going to Miami."
Let us all hope that there's no Miami style fiasco or scandal this summer!
