In the club

Beginnings

Depay began his career in 2000 as a child at VV Moordrecht in his birthplace Moordrecht, southwest of the city of Gouda in the province of Zuid-Holland , which is known for the cheese of the same name . He later moved to Rotterdam, 25 kilometers away, where Depay now ran for Sparta . For the 2006/07 season he moved to the football school of PSV Eindhoven, which, together with Ajax Amsterdam and Feyenoord Rotterdam, is one of the largest clubs in the Netherlands. On September 21, 2011, at the age of 17, he came to his first appearance for the professional team in the second round of the KNVB Cup in the game against the amateur club VVSB Noordwijkerhout on the grid; he scored two goals. He made his Eredivisie debut on February 26, 2012 at the age of 18 against Feyenoord Rotterdam when he was substituted on. On March 18, 2012, he scored his first goal in the league in the game against SC Heerenveen .

In the 2014/15 season Depay was Dutch champions with PSV and top scorer with 22 goals .

Manchester United

For the 2015/16 season Depay moved to the Premier League for Manchester United . He signed a four-year contract with the club, which was coached by his former bond coach Louis van Gaal , until June 30, 2019, with an option for another year. Depay received the jersey with the number 7 on the back of the Red Devils , which was before him u. a. the club icons George Best , Bryan Robson , Éric Cantona , David Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo wore. He made his competitive debut on August 8, 2015, when he was on the pitch in the 1-0 opening win against Tottenham Hotspur until the 68th minute and was then replaced by Ander Herrera . Depay scored his first two competitive goals in the 3-1 win against Club Brugge in the first leg of the Champions League play-offs , after which he was less and less involved and was almost exclusively used as a substitute under Louis van Gaal. Even with the arrival of Jose Mourinho nothing changed, so that he got 20 minutes of playing time in just four league games in the first half of the season.

Olympique Lyon

At the beginning of 2017 he switched to the French first division club Olympique Lyon after he was no longer considered by coach José Mourinho . However, Manchester United has a buyback option. On December 15, 2019, Memphis Depay suffered a cruciate ligament rupture in the game against Stade Rennes .

In the national team

Depay took part in the 2011 U-17 European Championship with the Dutch U17 national team. There he won the title with his team and scored a goal in the 5-2 final victory over Germany .

Memphis Depay (2015)
