I don't think international football is all it's made out to be, and when you play friendlies and qualifiers against the likes of Luxembourg those stats really don't mean anything anymore. We also don't know what impression he made around the place when he was at United previously, he could have been a bit of a dick. We'd be in for him if he was well liked or thought highly of, I mean we tried to sign Raboit so we're desperate.
Memphis Depay (stays)

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?

I'd sign Memphis on a free over Antony for 100 million.
Don't sign Memphis though. He's ehh
We sent Martial out to Spain. But I don't think Depay looked that great in Spain, did he? Someone else pointed his stats are actually not great for one of the better teams in La Liga.
Almiron also scored against City.
Shall we sign him too?
Your logic is highly flawed.
He'd probably be better than half our attackers
my logic is fine, you're just refusing a perfectly good player because you have an odd dislike for him.
Give me 1 good reason why he wouldn't be good striker cover?
Right now would take him back
Hope we sign him just to boil some piss in here
He can't be as dumb and immature as he was when United first signed him, so that's a start. The loss of possession against Stoke when he tried heading a ball back to his own goal, at the edge of his own defensive area, was one of the most brainless and stupifying things I've ever seen.
His international record is fantastic, and delivers in big moments now. Certainly tempting on a free, but probably only a 2+1 contract and nothing outrageous. Some decent versatile depth
Lukaku has an even better international record, doesn't mean much.
Lukaku scored decent numbers for us, what’s your point?
I think Ten Hag could get a tune out of him. On a free, as long as we dont give him a long contract, it could be good business.
Not sure where you live but we're very well already there mate and it's got feck all to do with Depay
I have no dislike for the guy, I think he's a decent player.He'd probably be better than half our attackers

But we have decent players already, we need better than decent if we are giving players a long contract on a high wage.
Would much rather us go for a younger option, rather than give a 28 year old a four year deal and get lumbered yet again.
Your logic is highly flawed as you appear to want a player because you like him rather than looking at the bigger picture.
8 more goals to go and he's the all-time topscorer of the Dutch National team.
Yes, he even scored more than Cruijff, v Nistelrooij and Bergkamp
Give him another chance.

Any concrete links in the thread ?

Thats honestly a mental stat
Some players thrive in a certain environment. He may have improved but clearly not enough for Barcelona to keep him. I think he's a bad fit for the PL and generally nothing great.
I'd take Depay for €10m.
He's a much better player than he was first time around for us, and I think his head has shrunk a bit too.
He would want to come and play, and we need committed players, not ones just coming for the money and an easy ride.
Loves United as well!

He'd be a no-brainer at €10 million. Good enough to start, versatile, not too old. Can't understand why anyone would be opposed.
Juventus was supposed to be getting him for free since he was terminating his contract so why should we pay 10m?
Who cares, honestly? It's €10 million. We were prepared to pay 90 for Antony. It's a coup either way.
no, it’s all on aubumeyang now
I literally gave a tier 1 source a few posts up

Even more necessary after Martial's early injury woes
Would be great business. Eriksen, Malacia, Memphis really strengthen the squad and it barely cost anything.
Can't complain too much at €10m but weren't Barcelona looking to terminate his contract?
I really hope it goes ahead. He is a very decent and versatile forward and we are so light on senior attackers.
I don't like this. I don't think his mentality is right, he already failed here.
Memphis is exactly what we need, a cheap squad option who can do a job
(as striker, not on the wing)
He's full of shite and probably should be downgraded to tier 3-4 after this summer.
Ha true
He’s a good option for depth but we need a starting striker.
Okay guys listen to me John Murtough masterclass incoming.
We are paying $10m for Depay
So Barca can pay De Jong wages with them.
Then we are paying $75m for De Jong.
And we are getting our boy ^^

Rubbish source
That's actually not what we need. We need a number 9 who can start. Its not like he gives us something new like the hold up play of a target man either.
