A lot of Liverpool fans on Twitter seem open to the idea of signing former Manchester United winger Memphis Depay this summer.

According to Mercato365, Liverpool scouted the Netherlands star for Lyon last weekend.

The 25-year-old, who left Manchester United in 2017, has netted eight goals and set up another nine in 27 Ligue 1 starts this season.

Reds boss Jurgen Klopp may want another wide option after what’s been a lukewarm first season at Anfield for Xherda Shaqiri, who joined last summer.

Here’s how Liverpool fans reacted to the idea of signing the ex-Red Devil:

The former PSV Eindhoven star joined United in 2015 but managed a disappointing two Premier League goals in 33 outings, failing to justify his £25 million transfer fee.

There is no denying that Depay is a talent, but questions were raised about his attitude during his stint in the Premier League.

Klopp is a disciplinarian and unless the German feels as if he could mould Depay into a player deserving to represent this Liverpool squad, a transfer probably won’t happen.
