Man Utd 'forced' to sign Depay
Manchester United were "forced" to sign PSV Eindhoven forward Memphis Depay early because of interest from French Ligue 1 leaders Paris St-Germain.
Old Trafford boss Louis van Gaal said the club wanted to wait until the summer to bring in the 21-year-old Dutch winger.
But after announcing a deal in the region of £25-30m, Van Gaal said: "I have been forced to sign him.
"I had to handle it otherwise he would have signed for PSG," he added.
Depay, who has scored 21 goals as PSV won this season's Dutch title, has signed a contract believed to be until 2019, with the option of another year.
He will join in June, subject to a medical.
