“He is a player who can change the course of the game; he can change the game single-handedly.” Blind, Depay's club and national teammate, said, “He has precise free kicks, delicate dribbling, and excellent finishing. Moreover, he is very young and possesses both talent and ambition. He always wants to perform better in training, and that’s what I know about him.”
Depay scored 46 goals in 106 appearances for PSV Eindhoven, and in the 2014/15 season, he became the top scorer in the Eredivisie, making him the youngest top scorer since Brazilian star Ronaldo in the 1994/95 season. Manchester United previously completed the acquisition of the Eredivisie's top scorer Depay for €27.5 million. Blind, who is also a Dutch international, spoke highly of his new teammate.
Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal also appreciates Depay; in March 2013, when he was coaching the Netherlands national team, he gave Depay his debut opportunity. Dutch legend Marco van Basten also praised this potential star. “Depay is a special talent,” Van Basten told Sky Sports News earlier this week. “He is stronger than others; he is an excellent player, a strong young player, and he has his own ideas, which I think is good for a player. He is still learning, and he gets along well with Van Gaal; they have worked together in the World Cup.” It is believed that in the future, Depay will be a leading figure in the new generation of the Netherlands national team.
