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.

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