Had some good moments when he come on yesterday, but still not making the impact expected. Maybe he's a player who needs to start a game and work his way into it, but he had plenty of times to do that prior to him being dropped.

Very romantic guy, all I`ll say is the money in football ruins players, and hes one of the many example of youngsters getting too much too early
Massive bellend for doing that, I don't care what anyone says.

For being in a picture with two women? Or is there more to it?
Massive bellend for losing us that Chelsea game. Don't care what anyone says, it was his fecking fault.
No apparently he is being a bellend because he has bad taste, there is only one woman.
Two women? Wtf are you talking
Anyway, wtf is this about? He just thinks about his cars, grills, tattoos, girlfriend, basically anything outside football, no wonder he is shit. Whats next? Posing with a gun a la Nile Ranger? This shitty attitude doesnt help one bit, should close all his fecking online accounts and train night and day to get to a level considered good enough to clean Martial's boots, let alone play for us.

Karrueche Tran, now Lori Harvey. 
Not doing to bad, is he? If his game on the pitch was as good as his game with girls, he'd be world class. Really hope he steps it up next season.

Refuse to call it after 1 season at a new club in a new league. Make no mistake he has been truly awful and his attitude seems to be a massive problem. as people have mentioned he's the quintessential "Too much, too soon" young starlet rolling about in fancy cars and going clubbing instead of focusing on what is, a very short career where if he aspires to be the best, he has to make sacrifices for, and at the moment it doesn't seem like he wants to do that.
something i posted before though earlier in the season, is that because he seems to have bulked up a considerable amount of mass before the season started, I believe it has seriously hampered his game and he has failed to adapt to his new weight. especially in a sport like football, excess bulk regardless of if its lean muscle or not, will hit a point where it becomes more of a hindrance than a positive.
His movement seems sluggish, whilst he seems quite strong he also looks off balance during his take ons. he seems to have lost a yard of pace which looked to be a part of his game at the world cup. So all and all in addition to having to adapt to a new home, new surroundings, better players etc He's also having to relearn his game to his new build, and redevelop those attacking instincts.
Ill use the example from basketball i used before, Raptors center Jonas valanciunas a couple of seasons ago went on a Strength and conditioning program where he put on another 8-10kg or so of muscle in order to improve his post game. but what actually happened is at 7 ft, that extra 10kg or whatever of bulk made him sluggish and killed a ton of his natural athleticism and his rebounding and everything went to shit for a bit.
If memphis slimmed down to a more suitable build for football (most footballers are incredibly skinny for athletes in general) i think he would begin to reclaim a bit of the form that saw us spunk 30m pounds on him.

Aye, at the start of the season he was going over too softly, perhaps he added more bulk to counter that, but he was always more than stocky enough for a footballer.
Mayhem that most (seemingly) are writing off a 22 year old after his first season in England while he's playing for a manager that only 1 attacking player has looked good under in 2 years.
He's undoubtedly got some lessons to learn and needs to get his head down but the hate he's getting here is embarrassing. The football forum is generally a mess nowadays and threads like this are a reason why.

A season long loan to Sunderland wouldn't be at all out of order for this clown.

That picture on the jacket reminds me of the King of Queens episode when Doug had a painting made of Carrie and she had a man arm.
Is it wrong to say she looks less painted on the jacket?
This lad is one of the worst players I've ever seen play for United
Hope I'm wrong but, he is awful
At one point, he lost the ball....He jogged back after the lad who took the ball off him...Rooney was behind Depay when this happened and yet, Rooney ended up ahead of Depay and tried to dispossess whoever it was, while Depay was still jogging back.
He's not cut out for United IMO

Rooney looked frustrated with him at weekend, some many simple balls are given away with lacklustre effort. That's not that I think Rooney has been great either but Depay is failing at all the simple stuff.
I'm starting to think he's just waiting for the season to end, so that he can bugger off elsewhere.
Nah, he loves the attention and prestige of being a Man Utd player.
look at his interview when he signed and all the comments he made. I think he expected to come in be the main man and start winning games on his won. Already talking about being a legend. There's nothing wrong with that but the difference in level has overwhelmed him. He isn't a bad player but he looks like he wants more time to make every decision on the pitch and he doesn't look like improving.
I said it in the summer that I think his technical level is very low. His game in PSV was all about finding enough space to get his shot away. There isn't that space in this league and he's looking clueless.
The frustrating thing is you can't even rely on him to change a game because he wants to do every thing at 0.5mph.
As I said last week, I think we will bring in a couple of wingers and strikers. He's in real trouble.

People will say it's kneejerk. But when assessing a player, you looks for positive signs, redeeming factors to say, "ok lets see how it goes at least he's doing this well". I'm not seeing anything
His movements are good, but he moves like a striker not like an inside forward.

Let the guy live. Who cares what he does in his personal time? Criticise him for what he does on the field, not off (unless of course it's something utterly stupid).
He kind of remind me Lacazette and Aubameyang at the same age, they were playing wide and you could see that something was wrong, at the time I thought that it was the players being wank but when they finally played upfront it was obvious that they were misused. Memphis could be a poor player but since he has mainly been a finisher, I think that he might be in the wrong position.
How much did we pay for him?
i think 21m without addons, not much.
Not worth 10 at the moment.
After 7 months, in a fairly poor team.
Im not sure I can see him being a central striker but in a front 3 as a wide forward rather than a winger perhaps that would bring the best out him.
Depay---Martial---Embolo?
Probably a bit too FM for it to work in real life but as a minimum I hope he gets another season (hopefully under a new manager) to show what he can do
Refreshing to see a reasonable post!
I have never seen Embolo play but I would swap Memphis and Martial, Martial is faster, better at dribbling, better at defending, he has more stamina. While I see a good finisher in Memphis.
Memphis has missed more sitters than Lingard has this season. I thought finishing might be his saving grace but he's been rater crap at that as well.
Well, a player out of confidence will miss sitters, like our own Chicharito. But I won't pretend that Memphis is a guaranteed good striker.
But he hardly does anything on the pitch.
And we've rightly hounded him for it. He's 22 years old and has a life outside of his job, at which he is terrible, and we should let him live it.
Was he out of confidence at the start of the season as well, which is when most of his sitters came?
In any case, I was questioning the assumption that Memphis is a good finisher, when based on his time at United that's not the case. Just like how he was supposed to be a good dribbler when we signed him. There's no reason to fit him in the team when he's so crap. Relegate him to the U21's for a while and be done with it.
At the start of the season he was visibly nervous and we created nothing, he was never a good dribbler just a capable one, he was never a winger and he was never a creator. That's why I was convinced that we wouldn't sign him because he wasn't a straight answer to our problems.
