Manchester United fans say the same thing after Memphis Depay scores sensational Lyon goal

Manchester United fans are crying out for the return of Memphis Depay after his sensational goal for Lyon at the weekend.

The Dutch forward who has scored 11 goals in 15 appearances for the Ligue 1 side this season, left Old Trafford after 18 months at the club in January 2017.

Depay caught the attention of on-watching United supporters after he went on a mazy run, having collected the ball in the centre circle, leaving most of the Metz defence for dead before firing a rasping drive into the corner of the net.

The former PSV youth product has found his home as a central striker in Ligue 1, having struggled for consistency when used on the wings at Manchester United.

United have struggled in front of goal this season with the club only finding the back of the net more than once in a game on two occasions - against Chelsea and Norwich.

The departures of Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez have left Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's squad light on the ground for attacking quality, with Anthony Martial also missing a large portion of the season with injury.

It's understood that United will look to address the attacking imbalance in their squad in January and in the summer, with a forward at the top of their transfer list.

After his sensational goal for Lyon, United fans have been calling for Depay to make a sensational return to Old Trafford, where many feel he has unfinished business.

Here's a round-up of exactly what the fan base have been saying, on Twitter.
