Denis Irwin: 'Memphis Depay can emulate David Beckham'

Denis Irwin says that Memphis Depay can replicate David Beckham during his career at Manchester United.

Former Manchester United defender Denis Irwin has said that Memphis Depay can have a similar influence that David Beckham had during his time at the club.

The 21-year-old scored his first goal for the club in a pre-season friendly against San Jose Earthquakes and Irwin thinks he will be a constant threat from set pieces.

"I think Memphis could match Becks in that sense," Irwin told the club's official website. "I saw him score a few goals last year for PSV and I think he will be a big addition to our team.

"It's still early days yet, but there's no doubt that he has a lot of talent. He brings that unpredictability and we don't possess too many players like that.

"His records will tell you that, even though he's young, he's a goalscorer as well, having scored 28 goals last year in Holland. We've already seen how good he is at finishing, so I think he'll become a big player for us even though he's young."

Manchester United have also signed Bastian Schweinsteiger, Matteo Darmian, Morgan Schneiderlin and Sergio Romero this summer.
