Memphis Depay hopes to emulate Cristiano Ronaldo at Manchester United

Memphis Depay admits that he hopes to be as influential as Cristiano Ronaldo when he joins Manchester United this summer.

Memphis Depay has admitted that he wants to be as successful as Cristiano Ronaldo when he begins his Manchester United career this summer.

The Netherlands international, who agreed a move to Old Trafford last week, scored in his penultimate game for PSV on Sunday.

The 21-year-old is hopeful that he can emulate Ballon d'Or winner Ronaldo, who was nurtured at United for six years before joining Real Madrid in 2009.

"I hope I can one day be like the big guys in the world," the Daily Mail quotes Depay as saying. "Ronaldo is someone I watch, I watch all the big players. I look up to them and I can learn from them.

"I am down to earth and I hope I can reach that level. I'll fight for it and I will do my best in every training session to get better."

The deal to sign Depay is reportedly costing United in the region of £25m.
