Former Man Utd star, Memphis Depay is considered one of the players who impress on social networks thanks to his personal fashion sense and lavish lifestyle.Unlike other football stars, Memphis Depay’s pet is a “liger”.
During a break in April due to the impact of the pandemic, he once attracted the attention of the online community when posting a picture with the status line: “What happens when liger goes out with lions?”.
Depay often shows off a full-back lion tattoo and nicknames himself after this animal.
When he was wearing the legendary No. 7 shirt of Man Utd, Depay was criticized by the legendary Ruud Gulit for his “colorful” lifestyle off the pitch. He spends a lot of time polishing his image instead of working hard. That is also the reason his performance has declined, becoming worse and worse at Man Utd.
Besides playing football, the Dutch striker also has a passion for music. He pursues rap music and is serious about it. Depay’s debut MV was released in June 2017, so far it has surpassed 2,000,000 views. Up to now, the striker born in 1994 has had 6 music products.

In addition, Depay also owns many expensive supercars. When playing for Man Utd, the Dutch striker was criticized for going to the training ground with Rolls Royce and Hummer. Countering this, Depay shared with Sjoerd Mossou: “The funny thing is that since coming to the UK, I have only been out once. Recently, I read that someone said I was a party boy. That Totally absurd.”
He was once chosen as the character for the cover of Vogue because of his fashion sense. In the Netherlands, Matthijs De Ligt and his girlfriend Annekee Molenaar also regularly appear in this magazine.
In May 2019, Depay released his autobiography “Heart of a Lion”. Here, he talked about his miserable childhood when he couldn’t live with both his father and mother, had to choose between music and football as well as struggling to make a living on the street. The difficulties of childhood have forged Depay today. That’s also why he took the lion symbol to prove his strength.
Moving to Man Utd from PSV Eindhoven for a fee of 35 million euros, Depay did not show much at Old Trafford and had to leave after two seasons. This player regained his form in the shirt of Olympique Lyon and became the mainstay of the club.
After a difficult time in England, Depay is reviving his form in Lyon shirt. He and his teammates overcame Juventus in the round of 16 to win the right to play in the Champions League quarter-finals against Man City. This season, the Dutch striker played 20 games, scored 15 goals and provided 2 assists in all competitions.
