Memphis Depay@Memphis?27394934? https://t.co/gHRnu2E7SK The Premier League giants have made contact with Barcelona over the potential signing. The former Olympique Lyonnais attacker has fallen down the pecking order at Barcelona following the arrivals of Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha. Ousmane Dembele has also extended his contract with the Catalan side which further jeopardizes Depay's place in Xavi Hernandez's side. He is yet to make an appearance for the Blaugrana this season. Were Depay to arrive at Old Trafford, he would be returning to a club he left five years ago. The Dutch forward spent two seasons at United previously, making 53 appearances, scoring seven goals and providing six assists. His time at the Red Devils was somewhat unconvincing and he departed for Lyon in 2017 for £14.4 million. Barcelona forward Depay has unfinished business at Manchester United The Dutch forward could return to Old Trafford Depay left Manchester United in bittersweet circumstances, having been touted as a potential top Premier League star for the future. A slow adaption to life in the English league led to Jose Mourinho becoming somewhat impatient with the Dutch forward. He was signed in 2015 under former manager Louis van Gaal, who he held a close relationship with, He had previously been coached by Van Gaal in the Dutch national team. However, Van Gaal was dismissed in 2016 and replaced by Mourinho and the change coincided with Depay's drop in form and confidence. He has commented on his departure from Old Trafford, saying (via Daily Mail): "I've thought a lot about why it went wrong. The first season I had to adapt and it didn't go well compared to my time at PSV. I lost a bit of confidence and I lost the confidence of [Louis] Van Gaal and his staff. It was hard for me. The following season I felt like I had more experience, but they changed the coach." utdreport@utdreportMemphis Depay in the retro Manchester United remake 14746995Memphis Depay in the retro Manchester United remake https://t.co/DQN2RRHDT5 A return for Depay to United may do the player wonders with the forward in need of a star role and there are question marks over the future of Cristiano Ronaldo.
