Coming to England to sign a contract with Manchester United, the Dutchman Memphis Depay hopes to reach the level of the best footballer in the world, Cristiano Ronaldo.
The young member of the Dutch national team was recently sold to Man Utd for 22.3 million pounds. The winger admits that he is a player of a fairly similar style to C. Ronaldo, but he knows he still has to work hard.
"I heard people comparing me to Cristiano Ronaldo," said the former PSV player. "I am very pleased to hear that, but I am still only 21, so I hope to reach his level."
"I am a player of a similar style, and Ronaldo has always been my hero. He scored so many goals that in order to reach his level, I have to work hard," added M. Depay.
This season, playing for PSV, the Dutchman scored 28 goals in 39 matches.
