Netherlands youngster Memphis Depay is handed a start by Louis van Gaal for the World Cup quarter-final against Costa Rica.

Netherlands youngster Memphis Depay has been handed a start by Louis van Gaal for this evening's World Cup quarter-final against Costa Rica.

The 20-year-old is one of two changes made by Van Gaal from the last-16 victory over Mexico.

Bruno Martins Indi is also back in the starting lineup as Nigel de Jong and Paul Verhaegh miss out.

Costa Rica are forced into one change because of Oscar Duarte's suspension, with Johnny Acosta coming into the defence.
