Depay out to rule the world
Date published: 14 May 2015
Memphis Depay has set himself the ultimate ambition: to become the best player in the world during his time at Manchester United.
The 21 year old is to move from PSV Eindhoven to Old Trafford when the transfer window opens in July, and the Holland ace has lofty ambitions in the Premier League.
Depay, who has scored 25 goals this season, has a tattoo on his chest that reads "dream chaser" and is setting out to achieve even more in his early career.
"I believe I can be one of the best players in the world and I have to dream and believe to achieve. It is tattooed on my chest,” he said.
Depay opted to remain in the Eredivisie last summer despite interest following his World Cup goals against Australia and Chile.
He revealed his former Holland coach and future United boss Louis van Gaal told him to keep improving on his game before he made a move for the forward – fending off reported interest from Paris St Germain and Liverpool.
Depay’s arrival could spark the departure of Radamel Falcao. The 29–year–old Colombia international striker, who joined United on loan from Monaco last September, has made only 28 appearances, 12 from the bench, and scored four goals.
