REVEALED: Lyon table improved offer for Man Utd outcast Memphis Depay

Olympique Lyon have tabled a new bid for Manchester United outcast Memphis Depay.

OL failed with an offer for the Dutchman last week, despite United being willing to sell.

Le Parisien reports they have returned today with a new bid of €15 million for Depay, having raised it by €2 million.

However, it still falls short of United's €17 million valuation.

Last Friday, OL coach Bruno Genesio declared: "He is number 1 on our list of 5, contrary to what I have heard. I'm a fan of the player. He is a powerful, powerful player, capable of scoring and shooting well. He's a wide player, that's where we need him.

"He is a young player but he already has an interesting international experience and, in my opinion, he still has a lot of room for development."
