PSV Eindhoven coach Phillip Cocu has conceded that he is expecting to lose reported Manchester United target Memphis Depay in the summer.
The 21-year-old has netted 15 Eredivisie goals this season and speculation is rife that a reunion with Louis van Gaal - whom he played under for the Netherlands - is on the cards.
Depay has also been linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur, and Cocu admits that it will be hard to keep the in-form winger beyond this season.
He told Sport Express: "That's unfortunate, but on the other hand, we must as a club be proud because we have trained him.
"At some point, it becomes clear that he is ready for the next step. And yes, I think he's going to leave PSV after this season."
Depay, whom Cocu compared to Arjen Robben recently, is contracted to the club until 2018.
