VIDEO: Memphis Depay returned to PSV and got an almighty reception from fans

They still love him

Memphis Depay is still popular in Eindhoven, at least.

The Manchester United winger has taken to the Premier League like a duck to a bonfire and has never come close to recapturing the form that earned him a £20m move to Old Trafford in the summer.

Depay was supposed to follow in the footsteps of former prodigious PSV talents such as Ruud van Nistelrooy, Arjen Robben and Ronaldo classic.

But it’s just not happened for the 21-year-old who will likely be missing the glory days of 2014 when he was one of the most exciting prospects in Europe.

The Dutchman didn’t get the chance to say goodbye to his boyhood club when United signed him in the summer so he looked to remedy that this weekend when he travelled to the Netherlands to take a lap around the Philips Stadion.

And just listen to the reaction his appearance prompted.
