Memphis Depay has revealed that Manchester United wanted to stop him from playing his final games for PSV Eindhoven. Depay, 21, winger will join United when the transfer window reopens after the two clubs agreed a £25 million fee on May 7. He played a further two games for Dutch champions PSV, scoring one more goal, but the Netherlands international claimed United hoped he would sit the matches out in case he was hurt. "I wanted to play, but the club and Manchester United weren't happy with that," he told De Telegraaf. "Because of injuries. "I wanted to become top scorer and break the total points record with PSV. So I absolutely wanted to play." Depay finished the Eredivisie campaign as the 22-goal top scorer, two ahead of his PSV colleague Luuk de Jong, and scored his last goal, against Heracles, three days after his move to United was agreed. Depay is expected to be the first of several major signings at Old Trafford this summer, with a centre-back, a right-back, a midfielder and another forward all targets, as well as a goalkeeper if David De Gea leaves.
