Former Man Utd winger Memphis Depay makes Lyon debut

Memphis Depay made his debut for Olympique Lyon on Sunday.

On Friday, the Dutch winger completed a transfer from Manchester United to Lyon which could rise to £21.7million.

On Sunday, Depay stepped out for Les Gones for the first time in their 3-1 home win over Olympique Marseille.

The 22-year-old replaced Mathieu Valbuena in the 79th minute, just four minutes after Alexandre Lacazette had netted his second goal to wrap up the victory.

The win saw Depay's new club remain fourth on the Ligue 1 table, six clear of fifth-placed Guingamp, and 11 behind leaders AS Monaco.

Memphis noted the triumph with a celebratory post on Twitter:
