Manchester United's Memphis Depay says he is comfortable dealing with the expectation and pressure that comes with wearing the club's coveted number seven jersey.

The number has been previously been worn by United legends Eric Cantona, David Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Depay, who made his Premier League debut in the Red Devils 1-0 win over Tottenham on Saturday, is confident his performances this season will do the club's most famous jersey number justice.

"Yes, of course (I'm aware of the pressure) and the history," Depay said.

"I appreciate the history, but I want to be my own man. It's an honour to wear the number seven and I will wear it with pride.

"Last year I played with seven on my back (for PSV) and I scored a lot of goals so I am confident with that number."
