Memphis Depay wants to become world's best player

Manchester United winger Memphis Depay has revealed that he wants to become the "best player in the world".

The Netherlands international arrived at Old Trafford from PSV Eindhoven for a reported £25m in the summer with a reputation of being one of Europe's brightest prospects.

The majority of his performances for the Red Devils have not lived up to that billing, but nevertheless, the 21-year-old has insisted that he will continue to strive to reach the highest level.

"Becoming the best player in the world - that's the ultimate goal and I can cope with that. Believe me, that pressure will never crack me," he told AD.

"I know I can do a lot better. I just had to settle in and get used to the football in the Premier League, to my new life in England. Of course, you want everything to go smoothly, but sometimes that isn't always realistic. But failure just isn't an option."

Depay has scored two goals from his 13 Premier League outings to date.
