Not one to hold a grudge, Memphis Depay has written a heart-felt thank you to Manchester United fans as he puts an end to his Old Trafford nightmare.
The Dutchman took to social media on Friday after completing a £21.6million move to Lyon, where he will wear the No 9 shirt.
Given the difficulties he has faced in the Premier League, and the mixed reception he has received from supporters, Depay could have been forgiven for leaving without a parting word.
But instead he paid tribute to the United crowd, writing: ‘Thanks for all the memories during my time as a Red Devil. I will never forget all your support at @ManUtd’.
Depay joined United for £25million in the summer of 2015 with a burgeoning reputation, but he failed to live up to expectations at Old Trafford and made just one start under Jose Mourinho this season.
He was made available for transfer by Mourinho this month and had several suitors, with Lyon eventually winning the race.
