Memphis Depay went to Manchester United 'too young', claims Rio Ferdinand - who hails the Holland star as a 'maverick' after firing Frank de Boer's side into Euro 2020 last 16

Memphis Depay was at Manchester United too soon in his career, believes Rio Ferdinand as he hailed the 'maverick' for his performance in Holland's 2-0 Group C win over Austria at the Euros on Thursday night.

Great things were expected of Depay when he signed for United in a £25million deal from PSV Eindhoven as a 21-year-old in 2015.

However, the forward lasted just 18 months at Old Trafford before he sold to Lyon in January 2017 for an initial £16m - having scoring just seven goals in 53 appearances for United.
