Manchester United fans have been given a taste of what they might be able to look forward to in the upcoming season.

Memphis Depay, the club's most attacking minded acquisition of the summer, looks set to play a vital role during the campaign following the departures of Radamel Falcao and Robin van Persie.

His relationship and link-up play with Wayne Rooney, who Louis van Gaal has indicated will play as a centre-forward this season, could be key.

Which is all why the video below should put a smile on the face of Manchester United fans.

It shows a ball crossed in by the club's captain and met by Depay, who beats David De Gea with a brilliant overhead kick.

The young Netherlands international does his best to play it cool, but can't help but break into a smile as he walks away.
