Memphis Depay: 'I want to become a Manchester United legend'

Depay: 'I want to become a legend'

Manchester United's new arrival Memphis Depay has already set his sights on becoming a "legend" at Old Trafford.

The Dutchman, who joined the Red Devils from PSV Eindhoven last month, scored his first goal for the club in Tuesday's pre-season 3-1 victory over San Jose Earthquakes in California.

While Depay is yet to make a competitive appearance for the Premier League giants, the 21-year-old is hoping to go down in history as one of the club's greatest players.

"I'm honest - of course I want to be a legend," Depay told Sky Sports News. "I will put pressure on myself to play good every game. I'm still young, I have to improve, the Premier League is different so we will see.

"I have to do my job, so then yeah, maybe in time I can be a legend. But to have those positive sounds from the fans and the legends that talk about me, I'm grateful for that."

Along with Depay, United have signed Matteo Darmian, Bastian Schweinsteiger and Morgan Schneiderlin so far this summer.
