Report: Roma want Memphis Depay on loan

Roma are reportedly considering a January loan swoop for Manchester United attacker Memphis Depay.

Depay, 22, joined Man United from PSV Eindhoven in 2015, but largely struggled to impress during his first season at Old Trafford - managing just two goals in 32 Premier League appearances.

The Dutchman has also struggled for first-team football under Jose Mourinho this term and it is understood that a move away from Old Trafford in the January transfer window could be on the cards.

AC Milan and Wolfsburg have both been linked with moves for the attacker, but according to Corriere dello Sport, Roma are currently at the head of the queue as they seek a short-term replacement for Mohamed Salah, who will represent Egypt at the African Cup of Nations in early 2017.

Depay is yet to score in five Man United appearances this season.
