Barcelona star Memphis Depay has opened the door for a return to Manchester United this month, according to Sport (today’s edition, page 6).

The Red Devils are eyeing a new striker during the ongoing transfer window and they are currently looking at different options

Atletico Madrid’s Joao Felix was earlier mentioned as the top target, but a deal seems unlikely due to the hefty fee for a loan transfer.

United prefer a low-cost loan option instead and it is now reported that Depay would be open to a reunion.

The Dutchman has entered the final six months of his contract and Barcelona are prepared to part ways with him for a nominal fee.

It remains to be seen whether United will make an approach, considering the hierarchy are said to prioritise a temporary deal.

Depay would be a good acquisition for Man Utd

Depay has been with Barcelona for the past 18 months but he has not been able to cement a regular role amid injuries and competition for places.

Despite this, he has 16 goal contributions to his name. If he were to join United, he should get regular playing time and would be a good acquisition.
