He wore the number 7 at PSV and, with the squad set to undergo another big turnaround in the summer, Memphis Depay could have reason to believe that he may just get the same number at Manchester United.
Angel di Maria is of course the current incumbent of the famous Manchester United number 7 shirt. But his future remains in serious doubt and, perhaps the most telling sign of his current Manchester United status under Louis van Gaal, is that he didn’t start the West Brom game after two straight defeats.

We sense that if PSG come in with a big bid Manchester United will cut their losses after just one season with the services of the Argentine.
Will Depay be United’s next great No.7?
Even if Di Maria does depart then Depay isn’t guaranteed the number 7. There is constant speculation about Manchester United and Gareth Bale. The hype will only be strengthened after his no show against Juventus on Tuesday evening in The Champions League. And with CR7 once more looking less than happy at Madrid, there is an outside chance that Manchester United will bring the prodigal home.
So Depay’s route to Manchester United’s most famous shirt isn’t straightforward. But there is a decent chance that he will start next season with the No.7 on his back. And one thing is for certain – Depay has the ability, nerve and charisma to do it justice.
Manchester United fans: Would the No.7 shirt put too much pressure on the young star’s shoulders?

There’s no too much talk,if you look closely the no.7 jersey doesn’t suit di maria he’s a left footer nd no.11 is supposed 2 b given 2 him I tink united made a mistake by givin adnan januzaj no.11 he’s not supposed 2 wear dat 11 so depay 7 di maria 11 dats it! Nd dats hw it supposed 2 b whether januzaj go out on loan or not no1 11 shuld b given 2 di maria den no7 to depay simple!

Depay sh’d be given jersey 15, Di- Maria 22 as formally wored in Real Madrid and 7 waits for CR7 perhaps he could be at United next season or another.

I suggest you get his shirt name right before worrying about a number. He rejected his father and has Memphis on the shirt.
As for the rest of the conjecture it seems way off.

May 8, 2015 at 8:27 pm
Exactly. They all think jersey number matters soooo much. It’s just a number and if you think otherwise get your head out of the 1930s. Do NOT call him Depay…he goes by Memphis and that’s it.

No: 7 jersey is always for the tested and trusted in united. Depay is nt yet tested in England, so lets nt argue about this, gv hm another shirt. If there must be 7 on his jersey den let hm wear 17, 27, 37, 47, 57, 67, 77, 87, 97 and 71, 72, 73,,,,,,,,,,79

Comment:great United’s, is good having Memphis depay but giving him jersey number 7 is not encouraged by me, cos of Hope’s in the life of di maria 7, nani 17 who may be back and januzaj 11, if this players are not sold i’ll give him jersey number 11 bcos his a left footer but for cos of pressure and proud I’ll give him 15. welcome depay .
