Liverpool eye ex-Man United star as replacement for Sadio Mane

Memphis Depay, former Man United winger, is linked with a switch to Liverpool as possible replacement for Sadio Mane in the summer.

According to Metro citing L’Équipe, the 25-year-old Dutch international, who joined Man United from PSV Eindhoven in the summer of 2015, struggled from form and confidence under Louis van Gaal and later Jose Mourinho.

However, since Depay was sent packing by the Portuguese tactician over 24 months ago, the Dutchman has rediscovered his scoring ways netting 30 times in 80 Ligue 1 games.

The report further revealed that Depay is eager to leave Lyon for one of Europe’s top clubs in the coming window.

Despite United having the option of first refusal in his contract at Lyon, it is unlikely Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will make the move this summer, with the Ted Devils main focus centered on defence and central midfield additions.

In addition, L’Équipe claims the Reds are keeping tabs on Depay’s situation, with Real Madrid plotting a move in Sadio Mane.

Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming?

Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari.
