Big things were expected of Memphis Depay when he arrived at Old Trafford last May, but the Dutchman’s troubled first season at Manchester United has ended with an omission from Louis van Gaal’s FA Cup final squad.
United unveiled their £25m signing off the back of a remarkable 2014/15 campaign with PSV Eindhoven in the Eredivisie, where he managed to register 22 goals in 30 appearances.
But he’s struggled to settle into life in the Premier League and people are now wondering whether pictures that have emerged of the winger handing his boots to a security guard at United’s training ground could mean that his time in Manchester might already be coming to an end.

Memphis came off the bench for United’s last match of the season against Bournemouth, but has failed to find the back of the net in the league since November’s 2-1 victory over Watford.
His most recent goal outside of the domestic campaign was in a Europa League fixture against Midtjylland in February, and his lack of firepower has cast doubts over his future at the club.
