Manchester United FC transfer news: Memphis Depay to be offered Old Trafford escape route by AC Milan

AC Milan are eyeing up Manchester United flop Memphis Depay, according to reports in Italy.

Big things were expected of the winger when he arrived at Old Trafford for around £25m from PSV in May 2015.

However, the 22-year-old has failed to shine and there was talk he would be sold during the most recent transfer window.

No move came about though and Depay has continued to try and fight for his place in Jose Mourinho's first-team.

But, according to Calciomercato, Milan are ready to offer the Dutchman an escape route out of Old Trafford in January.

The Serie A side are prepared to take Depay on loan with a view to a permanent switch to Italy in the summer.
