Memphis Depay is set to reunite with former Dutch coach Louis van Gaal at Manchester United.

Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain were reported to be interested in the 21-year-old but United manager Louis van Gaal now appears to have beaten his rivals to the signature of the Holland forward.

Depay played under United manager van Gaal at last year’s World Cup in Brazil, scoring two goals as Holland reached the semi-finals of the competition.
