Depay completed a £21million move to Lyon yesterday, ending a miserable year-and-a-half spell in English football.

The 20-year-old has helped fire Benfica to the top of the Primeira Liga table.
He has scored seven goals from 28 appearances along the way and made his Portugal debut in 2015.
Guedes' agent is Jorge Mendes – who is Mourinho's agent.

It has been reported Benfica chief Luis Flilipe Vieira travelled to London to hold talks with Mendes over a potential deal.
The Portuguese club initially wanted Depay as part of a deal – but the Holland international opted for a move elsewhere.
PSG are also admirers of Guedes but Mendes' influence could swing the deal United's way.
The transfer could be completed in the next 48 hours.
