Former Man United star 'offered a contract by Brazilian side Corinthians' after leaving Spanish giants in summer - with 30-year-old searching for his SIXTH professional club

A former Man United star has reportedly been offered a contract by Brazilian side Corinthians after becoming a free agent.

The 30-year-old is currently without a club after spending just a season-and-a-half at Atletico Madrid, where he managed nine goals in 31 appearances, despite mainly being utilised off the bench.

But according to Itatiaia, the forward could soon be making a return to professional football as the Brazilian giants offered him a deal. 

The player in question is none other than Netherlands star Memphis Depay. 

The outlet claim that Corinthians had been monitoring his situation since August and, last week, decided to table an official offer for the forward. 

League regulations allow new player registrations until September 20, meaning they have just over two weeks to get a deal done. 

The Dutchman departed the Red Devils in 2017 and has gone on to have a largely successful career at the likes of Lyon, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. 

Depay made 53 appearances for United between 2015-17 following his £25million move, scoring seven goals in all competitions.

The 30-year-old produced a somewhat underwhelming display at Euro 2024 after recording just one goal and one assist from the Netherlands' six games.

The forward made headlines during the competition after he showcased a custom-made headband that has sparked mixed reaction amongst fans online.

The 30-year-old is renowned for his eye-catching cars and fashion accessories, and opted to wear a white sweatband around his head during training sessions and in matches at Euro 2024.

Inscribed with his shirt number 10 on the front of the headband, Depay has had the words 'who cares' stitched into the back of it in golden writing.

Depay also went viral after he appeared to get injured after running into the referee during the first half of the Netherlands' game against Austria.
