Manchester United player likened to legendary James Bond villain

Manchester United winger, Memphis Depay has been likened to the notorious James Bond villain, Goldfinger, by the Dutch footballing legend, Van Hanegem.

Van Hanegem, considered as one of Holland’s finest players, claimed that Memphis Depay is extremely conscious about his fashion and that there was no use for that on the pitch.

Depay arrived on international duty, sporting a hat and a scarf. However, what left Hanegem unimpressed was the choice of boots from the Manchester United attacker.
