#4 Memphis Depay
All football experts were sure: Memphis Depay was going to be a very big player, maybe even the best of the world. At the age of 21, the Dutch striker already became top goal scorer of the Eredivisie with 22 goals for PSV Eindhoven.
After that and a good performance at the World Cup in Brazil, Louis van Gaal took the youngster with him to Manchester. 'United' paid €34 million euros to PSV for the attacker.
The start of Memphis was hopeful, with 2 goals and 1 assist in the Champions League Qualification match against Club Brugge. Captain Wayne Rooney and manager Louis van Gaal were lyrical about Memphis, stating that he could become the best football player of the world. But Memphis could not give the performance vs Club Brugge a sequel in the Premier League.
After a year and a half Man Utd sold Memphis for €16 million to Olympique Lyon. The Dutchman scored 7 goals in 53 appearances for Manchester United.
