Manchester United are leading the race to snap up Barcelona forward Memphis Depay, according to reports in the Spanish media.
The Dutchman, who played for the Red Devils between 2015 and 2017, is expected to leave the Camp Nou during the January transfer window.
Although there were a few fans on Twitter who wouldn’t mind bringing Depay back to Manchester, the majority are very much against the move:
We should stop taking our exes back doesn’t end well

Depay has been linked with most of the Premier League’s ‘Big Six’ in recent months, including Arsenal, Tottenham and Chelsea, but it seems manager Erik ten Hag is the one who may convince him to return to Old Trafford.
The United manager was assistant head coach at PSV Eindhoven when Depay was coming through the ranks at the Eredivisie club and it appears he is keen to work with the player again. We shall have to wait and see whether the Dutch international does opt for a second spell with the Red Devils.
