Manchester United transfer news: Memphis Depay’s Everton move still Ronald Koeman’s top priority as boss pays lip service
Toffees keen on striking deal with Red Devils for Dutch forward in January as Koeman pledges to 'do business'
MEMPHIS DEPAY looks nailed-on for a January move to Everton as Ronald Koeman continues to sweet-talk the Manchester United outcast.
Netherlands international Depay has made just four Premier League appearances under Jose Mourinho this season.
The struggling forward clearly doesn’t figure in his manager’s future plans for United and knows he must act soon in order to save his flagging career.

Depay isn’t short on offers, with numerous clubs across Europe interested in a temporary solution.
But Everton boss Koeman hopes his compatriot chooses Goodison Park if he is to leave Old Trafford at the start of 2017.
The Dutch tactician said: “If there is any opportunity then of course I’m interested.
“I was interested at Southampton, that has not changed. We have to be patient but we will do business in January.”
It’s not the first time Koeman has made his interest in Depay public, revealing last week: “I would like to have him.
“I think he is an interesting player. He has great individual qualities. He just needs to play games.”
