Manchester
United have ramped up their efforts to sign PSV Eindhoven star Memphis
Depay by making an official approach for the 21-year-old.
The
Eredivisie champions have confirmed that the Red Devils have made a
move over the Holland international - with United manager Louis van Gaal
keen to make him one of his first signings this summer.
Van
Gaal is already familiar with the qualities of Depay having named him
in his 23-man World Cup squad last year as Holland finished third in
Brazil.
Premier League rivals Tottenham were keen on signing Depay last summer but saw their £15million offer rebuffed by PSV.
And
now it appears United are in pole position to land the signature of the
Dutch giants' No 7 - despite competition from some of Europe's biggest
club's including Paris-Saint Germain.
'That was last summer. Now
Depay is worth more than that,' PSV technical director Marcel Brands
said of Tottenham's bid nearly 12 months ago.
