PSV Eindhoven Memphis Depay admits that it is an "absolute dream" to join Manchester United after agreeing a deal ahead of the summer transfer window.

PSV Eindhoven winger Memphis Depay has revealed that he did not need any convincing to join Manchester United.

The 21-year-old has agreed a deal with the Premier League giants today and will move to Old Trafford in the summer, subject to a medical.

Depay, who has worked under United manager Louis van Gaal at international level with the Netherlands, was linked to a number of clubs, including Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain.

However, the player himself has admitted that picking the Red Devils was an easy decision.

"It was an exciting and pretty hectic period, and to have a choice between so many top clubs doesn't make it any easier," The Mirror quotes Depay as saying.

"For me, Manchester United is an absolute dream club, so I didn't need any convincing of the guys who already play at Manchester United.

"They told me only positive things though, and I'm looking forward to playing with my Dutch teammates next to all the other great players of Manchester United, and working with manager Louis van Gaal again is also a big bonus. In the end it was just a matter of feeling, not a matter of money."

Depay, who is expected to cost United in the region of £22m, helped PSV win the Eredivisie title this season by scoring 21 goals in 28 games.

I always say; Dream, Believe, Achieve. I was dreaming and believing of becoming the champions of the Eredivisie with @PSV and we achieved it. I'm extremely grateful towards PSV, all the fans, @underarmour and @segfootball for believing in me. Now it's time to set my goals again on winning trophies with @ManchesterUnited.
