Ronald Koeman Eyes Manchester United Flop As Luis Suarez Replacement

Ronald Koeman Eyes Manchester United Flop As Luis Suarez Replacement

FC Barcelona boss Ronald Koeman is reportedly looking at a Manchester United flop to replace striker Luis Suarez.

The new Barca manager is said to have told Suarez he is not a part of his plans for next season, and has his eyes set on one of the stars he managed while at the helm of the Netherlands national team.

According to AS, with Lautaro Martinez seemingly out of the Blaugrana's reach, Koeman has told the sporting directors that Olympique Lyon forward Memphis Depay could be the ideal option.

The 26-year-old ended up in Ligue 1 after failing to light up the Premier League with the Red Devils, and seems to have reignited his career in France.

Koeman wants new blood in his attack, and with Memphis he could get pace, power and versatility, with the Dutchman proving useful on either flank, as well as a focal point of the attack.

Added to this, Depay has just one more year to run on his contract with Lyon, which means he would be available at a lower cost due to the risk of him leaving for free next year.
