Manchester United attacker Memphis Depay admits a move to PSG was close last season.The Dutchman arrived at Old Trafford for £25m from PSV Eindhoven over the summer.
He told AD: "Oh man, it was tense."I spoke to Liverpool, they were really concrete, but because of an injury in their team they wanted to wait a bit."After that, Paris Saint Germain came. They were really concrete too… It's quite hard, because as a footballer, you're not in control of everything."Some clubs wait with putting together their team until the summer arrives, while we were already negotiating in May."With SEG, my agency, I sat down and considered everything, but then Manchester United came. Very quick and very direct."At that moment you immediately know: this is it. This is the absolute top. As a club, but also the league."One year earlier,Tottenham Hotspur was interested."I've thought about it, but my sense of honour is the most important thing."I thought: if I become champion with PSV and top scorer of the Dutch league, something bigger will come. I told myself to aim higher, y'know?"
