The spending spree at Old Trafford shows absolutely no signs of stopping as Louis van Gaal looks to further increase the Dutch presence at Manchester United.

Memphis Depay looks set to join the likes of Daley Blind and Robin van Persie with the Red Devils happy to meet the €21m asking price of PSV Eindhoven.

The 21-year-old knows LVG well after the United boss who made the young winger a part of his Netherlands World Cup squad last year.

Depay is one of the hottest properties around Europe and, despite interest from Spurs and Liverpool, Old Trafford looks to be his destination come the summer. (Daily Mirror)

Go Ahead Eagles v PSV Eindhoven - Eredivisie

Meanwhile misfiring United striker Radamel Falcao could find himself heading Falcao-t the door with Juventus reportedly preparing a bid for the Colombian.

Falcao has scored just four times since signing on loan from Monaco last summer and his place in van Gaal’s squad became crystal clear when he was forced to line out for United’s U21 side on Tuesday night, in a game where he made such an impact that he was subbed off with the youngsters chasing a winner.

With Carlos Tevez seemingly set for a move away from the Serie A leaders, Juve’s manager Massimiliano Allegri sees Falcao as a perfect replacement.

Well if it’s heavy touches and wides he’s after, Allegri has his man. (Daily Express)

Manchester United v Sunderland - Premier League

Elsewhere, Raheem Sterling has cast fresh doubt over his future with Liverpool as he has postponed contract talks until the end of the season.

With Real Madrid and Bayern Munich closely monitoring Sterling’s situation, Brendan Rodgers will be nervously biting his constantly chapped lips as the English international considers his options.

Sterling has been one of the Reds’ top performers this season yet remains on less than €50,000 a week at Anfield and, despite the Merseyside club offering him a significant triple-your-money deal, Sterling is yet to sign on the dotted line. (Daily Mirror)

Liverpool v West Ham United - Premier League

Jose Mourinho could find himself looking for defensive reinforcements come the end of the season as goalscoring right-back Branislav Ivanovic could be set for an “if you can’t beat them, join them” move to Paris Saint-Germain.

PSG are apparently considering a €20m move for the Serb who has been consistently one of the first names on Mourinho’s team sheet since signing from Lokomotiv Moscow in 2008. (Daily Express)
