Robben backs Depay

LONDON. — New Manchester United hero Memphis Depay has been backed to fire the Reds to title glory — by Holland team-mate Arjen Robben. Memphis, a £25 million summer signing from PSV ­Eindhoven, lit up Old Trafford on Tuesday with two stunning goals — his first for the Red Devils — in a 3-1 Champions League playoff first leg win over Club Brugge. The Theatre of Dreams rose to acclaim the latest hero to wear United’s iconic No.7 shirt, joining an illustrious list that includes George Best, Bryan Robson, Eric Cantona, David Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo. Memphis (21) showed he felt comfortable in such exalted company and unburdened by the weight of expectation, with Robben claiming he can provide the spark to bring the title back to United. — The Mirror.
