Memphis Depay left out of Manchester United's FA Cup final squad

The Dutch winger’s future is likely to come under renewed speculation after this latest development.

MEMPHIS DEPAY HAS been dropped from Manchester United’s squad ahead of tomorrow’s FA Cup final against Crystal Palace.

The Dutch winger, who was bought for £25 million by the club last May, has struggled to get into the United starting XI this season.

However, despite Depay’s disappointing campaign, he had been expected to feature in the matchday squad for English football’s curtain closer tomorrow, having come off the bench against Bournemouth on Tuesday night.

It is the only second time the Holland international has been absent from the matchday squad this season, having also missed the 0-0 draw against Palace back in October.

In total, the 22-year-old has managed seven goals in 50 appearances in all competitions this season.

Teenage defender Cameron Borthwick-Jackson, who had been an injury doubt ahead of the game, is also absent from the travelling party.
