Manchester United flop Memphis Depay wishes Floyd Mayweather a happy birthday as Lyon forward poses in £4,000 Louis Vuitton boxing gloves

Former Manchester United forward Memphis Depay didn't enjoy the happiest of experiences at Old Trafford, but his 18-month spell in England did at least prove lucrative.

Depay showed off one of many lavish purchases helped by his £90,000-a-week wage at United, wishing Floyd Mayweather a happy birthday on Instagram sporting a pair of Louis Vuitton boxing gloves worth £3,700.

The Dutchman has embarked on a new chapter in his career with Lyon in Ligue 1, and has already got off the mark for his new club in the 4-0 win over Nancy this month.
