Memphis Depay Offered Escape Route From Manchester United

Memphis Depay's torrid time at Manchester United could be about to end soon, with AC Milan keen on taking him to Italy.

United beat off stiff competition from PSG and Liverpool to sign Memphis from PSV Eindhoven in the summer of 2015 and after scoring an impressive double in a Champions League play-off against Club Brugge, looked destined for big things at United.

But he only managed seven goals for the club after his £25m move. Many believed he would be offloaded upon Jose Mourinho's arrival.

Depay just about survived but it is clear that he is not a permanent fixture in Mourinho's plans; he has made just five appearances in all competitions this season.

According to Sky Sport Italia, AC Milan want to end the 22-year old's nightmare run at United and bring him to the San Siro as soon as the January transfer window opens.
