MANCHESTER UNITED have rejected a Lyon bid for wideman Memphis Depay, according to reports.
Holland star Depay has been frozen out at Old Trafford since boss Jose Mourinho‘s summer arrival.
And France’s BFMTV say Lyon have made an offer for the ex-PSV Eindhoven star – but it is thought to be some way below the £15million United are likely to want.

Lyon’s Ligue 1 rivals Nice have also reportedly been monitoring the 22-year-old.
But Mourinho is unwilling to loan Depay out, especially if United would be left paying some of his wages.
So the French clubs and a host of European teams must now decide if the pacy enigma is worth a big-money transfer window gamble.
Depay had flashes of inspiration under former United chief Louis van Gaal following his £30m arrival in June 2015.
But fears his unpredictable talent would frustrate Mourinho seem to have come true this season.
