You have a club that bought him for a certain amount, that wants to sell him. "When we looked at Depay, it was in another way, which is not possible today."He was bought very expensively by Manchester United, they want to possibly sell him and we cannot compete in this sort of situation."Depay joined United from PSV on the back of a 2014-15 campaign which saw him win the league with the Eindhoven side and finish as the Eredivisie’s top scorer. He struggled, however, to make much of an impact under fellow Dutchman Louis van Gaal and has made just eight appearances in all competitions this season – with the last of those coming in a Europa League clash with Feyenoord on 24 November.</blockquote>
