Dutchman has revealed he could quit Old Trafford for regular action and now looks set for winter Serie A switch
ROMA are reportedly looking to land Manchester United flop Memphis Depay on loan in January.

A number of European giants are interested, with AC Milan allegedly lining up a big-money move thanks to their new Chinese investors.

Wolfsburg have also been linked with a bid after their disastrous start to the Bundesliga campaign, but Italian media outlet claims Roma are leading the race for Depay’s signature.
Ex-Chelsea flop Mohamed Salah is set to depart for the African Cup of Nations in January, and Luciano Spalletti is desperate to land a short-term replacement.
Depay has the same agent as Roma’s Dutch stars Kevin Strootman and Thomas Vermaelen, and a loan deal is also United’s preference after they shelled out £25million on him in 2015.
However, the report adds Juventus and Inter Milan have already made approaches for Depay, with Stoke star Xherdan Shaqiri also a target for Roma.
Depay has played just 12 minutes in the league so far and was roundly criticised last season after failing to make an impact in England.
The 22-year-old mustered just seven goals during Louis van Gaal’s final campaign, a far cry from his tally of 28 the year before with PSV Eindhoven.
