United agrees deal with PSV for Dutch striker

Manchester United has reached an agreement to sign Dutch international forward Memphis Depay from PSV Eindhoven, the Premier League giant announced yesterday.

“#mufc has reached an agreement with PSV Eindhoven and Memphis Depay for the player’s transfer, subject to a medical,” United announced on its official Twitter account.

“Pending the successful completion of the medical, the deal will go through once the transfer window opens in June.”

Depay, who has scored 49 goals in 122 appearances for PSV, will reportedly cost United around 25 million pounds (US$38 million).

United did not disclose the length of his contract.

The 21-year-old played under United manager Louis van Gaal at last year’s World Cup in Brazil, scoring two goals as Holland reached the semifinals. Van Gaal, who gave Depay his international debut, joined United after the tournament.

If the deal goes through, Depay will become United’s first signing of the 2015 close season. He is expected to remain available for PSV’s two remaining games of the season.
