Manchester United are interested in FC Barcelona\u2019s Memphis Depay, it has been reported.<\/p>\n

Depay joined the Spanish powerhouse on a free transfer last summer after his contract with Lyon expired.<\/p>\n

He went on to open 2021\/22 as Barca\u2019s main striker, scoring four and assisting two in his first eight La Liga outings of the campaign.<\/p>\n

However, due to a combination of injury, a change in manager and a busy January for Barcelona, Depay is now very much a fringe option.<\/p>\n

The 28-year-old has scored twice in his last five league games of 2021\/22, but he struggled to complete 90 minutes in any of those matches.<\/p>\n

Instead, La Blaugrana have been relying on Ferran Torres and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang for most of their goals.<\/p>\n

Barca have also since completed the signing of Robert Lewandowski from Bayern Munich, pushing Depay even further down the attacking pecking order.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

As a result, it is not too surprising to see that Depay is being tipped for a Camp Nou exit this summer.<\/p>\n

Manchester United are interested in reuniting with Depay, and the Catalan club are already weighing up two offers for their out-of-favour star, it has been reported.<\/p>\n

Transfer expert\u00a0Gerard Romero<\/a>\u00a0claims that United have \u2018always been interested\u2019 in launching a concrete swoop for Depay this summer.<\/p>\n

Two unnamed Premier League sides have also already tabled bids to Barca, but both fell short of the\u00a0\u00a317m\u00a0asking price.<\/p>\n
