The Premier League club agreed a £31 million fee with PSV and the 21-year-old underwent his medical last month, but the deal has officially been confirmed today after the opening of the transfer window.
Speaking to the Manchester United website, Depay, who will link up with fellow Dutchmen Robin van Persie and Daley Blind along with coach Louis van Gaal, called the move a “dream come true.”
Depay said, “This is a dream come true for me; to play for the biggest club in the world and also to have the chance to work with someone who I believe is the best manager in the world, Louis van Gaal. I have great belief in my ability and I work hard to strive to achieve my dreams.
Louis van Gaal added, “I know Memphis well from our time working together in the Netherlands national team. He is a young versatile player who has the ability to play in a number of different positions.
“It will take time for Memphis to get used to the rhythm of the Premier League, but I have no doubt that he has the potential to become a great footballer for this club and he is at the right club to continue the good work he has done so far.”
