Manchester United transfer news: Memphis Depay in demand as Spartak Moscow plot move

Nov 24, 2016

MEMPHIS DEPAY is feeling the love from Russia as Spartak Moscow prepare to launch a January move for the Manchester United flop.

The Dutchman has struggled with life at Old Trafford since his arrival last year and is set to end his misery in the next transfer window.

A loan deal is reportedly on the cards for the 22-year-old, according to Russia’s Sport Express.

Spartak are preparing a short-term move for the forward, which will include the option to make it a permanent switch at the end of the season.

The club’s Italian boss Massimo Carrera holds a trump card to help with his efforts to bring the former PSV man to the Soviet state.

Depay’s close friend and fellow Netherlands international Quincy Promes is already at the club.

And a link-up with his ally could prove a tempting proposition for the United man.

Spartak currently top the table in Russia, sitting three points ahead of Zenit after 14 games.

Depay has yet to start a game for the Red Devils in the Premier League this season under Jose Mourinho.

His only match action aside from the Europa League and EFL Cup has come with four late cameos from the bench.
