Memphis Depay went from PSV's boy wonder to a Manchester United flop before being sold to Lyon... now the wannabe hip-hop artist is silencing his critics as he leads the charge against Manchester City in Champions League

After years of hype, promise and a fair amount of disappointment, Memphis Depay is now fulfilling his potential as the leading man at Lyon.

In 2015 at the age of 20, Depay was the Holland's next biggest star and was on his way to Old Trafford having left PSV Eindhoven in a £21million move.

After being handed a £100,000-a-week deal by Louis van Gaal at United, he was handed the fabled No 7 shirt – adding to pressure already being weighed on the young Dutchman's shoulders.
