New Manchester United signing Memphis Depay has rejected comparisons to Cristiano Ronaldo, but is planning to excite fans of the club.
United boss Louis van Gaal previously compared Depay to Lionel Messi due to his ability to score goals from the wing.
“He’s a goalscoring winger and there aren’t so many of them in the world,” Van Gaal told MUTV in May. “[Lionel] Messi is one of those.”
But Depay has acknowledged he still has plenty of work to do before he is considered among football’s elite.
“I don’t want to say I can be like somebody as that, but I think I can excite the fans,” he said at his official unveiling.
