Memphis Depay is expected to leave Barcelona when the transfer window opens in January.
The Spanish club are seeking to terminate the Dutch international’s contract to save money on his salary and the player has been linked with a return to Manchester United.
The attacker arrived at Manchester United in 2015 from PSV Eindhoven, but had a disappointing spell at Old Trafford.
Since then, the 28-year-old has impressed at Lyon and Barcelona.
The Dutch international scored 13 goals in all competitions last season, and it will be interesting to see if he is willing to return to Manchester United in January.
The Red Devils desperately need reinforcements in attack, especially after terminating Cristiano Ronaldo’s contract. Depay could be a quality addition in the near term.
The Dutch international can play anywhere in the three forwards and his versatility will be an added advantage.
Journalist Florian Plettenberg has now revealed that Manchester United have already started talks to sign the 28-year-old and Erik ten Hag wants to bring Depay back to Old Trafford.

Given the fact that he could be available on a free transfer, it makes the gamble worthwhile and Depay could be a bargain if he manages to make an immediate impact.
The player is currently sidelined at the World Cup with the Netherlands and will be hoping to impress in Qatar and secure a big move in January.
