Manchester United close in on the signing of PSV winger Memphis Depay, according to reports.

Depay has had strong links with United for weeks, with Red Devil boss Louis van Gaal said to have made the player a top transfer priority.

PSV have now confirmed the talk that was reported over the weekend, and reports say Depay is set to arrive at Old Trafford in the summer.

The 21-year-old also attracted attention from Premier League rivals Liverpool, but United have been tipped to be the ones to land his signature.

United are expected to have to pay in the region of £25m if they are to secure the midfielders services.

Manchester United are currently third in the Barclays Premier League having accumulated 65 points, one point behind Arsenal in second.
