Memphis Depay's Manchester United dream is beginning to resemble a nightmare but the Dutch winger has found inspiration in an unusual source - British boxer Anthony Joshua.
Depay was in attendance at Manchester's MEN Arena on Tuesday evening as unbeaten 2012 Olympic champion Joshua prepared for this weekend's fight against Eric Molina with an open workout.
The United winger, who was left out of the squad for Thursday's Europa League match against Zorya Luhansk and is interesting Everton, chatted to Joshua on stage and afterwards he took to Twitter to praise the IBF world champion.
