Former Manchester United winger Memphis Depay, who left the club after a couple of dreadful seasons at Old Trafford could find his way back to the Premier League with the Red Devils' bitter rival Liverpool. If Sadio Mane leaves Anfield in the summer, then Jurgen Klopp's team will try to rope in Memphis Depay to fill the void on the left flank.

Sadio Mane is being linked with a move to Real Madrid in the summer with the Blancos being tipped for a squad overhaul on the back of one of their worst seasons in recent history. Mane has been on fire for Liverpool and has been one of the leading lights in their campaign as they look set to take the title race all the way down to the wire.

The 25-year-old Depay has impressed heavily for Lyon and feels he deserves a move to one of the European elites.
