Judi Online - Louis van Gaal was key in Memphis Depay choosing to join Manchester United, the Dutch winger has revealed.
The
21-year-old moved to Old Trafford on a four-year deal earlier in the
transfer window, snubbing the advances of a host of top European
outfits.
Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain were among the clubs interested in the winger, but it was Van Gaal who finally helped Depay make his mind up.
"There were discussions with nearly all the top clubs," Depay told Sport Bild. "Bayern were one of them but, in the end, Manchester United came out on top.
"I
can't say who the best coach in the world is," Depay responded when
asked whether he was enticed by the prospect of linking up with Pep
Guardiola at the Allianz Arena.
"There are definitely a lot of good and well-known managers and Pep Guardiola is certainly one of them.
Bandar Bola - "But
I only spoke to Louis van Gaal and he totally convinced me. He gave me
the feeling that I was very important for him not only as a player but
also as a person - and then it was clear that I would go to Manchester
United."
Depay, whose style of play has been likened to that of former United
favourite Cristiano Ronaldo, was unveiled at Old Trafford on Friday -
and he distanced himself from comparisons with the Real Madrid star.
“I want to let my feet speak. I don’t want to compare myself with somebody like that,” he said.
Depay could make his United debut when the Red Devils kick off their pre-season tour of the US against Club America at 4:00am BST on Saturday morning.
