'Welcome to football' - Memphis Depay sat down NFL star with lightning speed skill

talksport.com, 3 July 2023, 15:51
Memphis Depay has been showing which version of football is the fastest during pre-season training.

The Atletico Madrid and former Manchester United forward has been getting prepared for the new LaLiga season alongside a former NFL superstar.

Posting training videos with Brandon Marshall, Depay would have struggled to find a more experienced opponent than the former Denver Broncos, Miami Dolphins, Chicago Bears, New York Jets, New York Giants, and Seattle Seahawks wide receiver.

However, he made him look slow during one training drill where the 39-year-old couldn't keep up.

Twisting, turning and feinting moves, Depay left the American Football star almost on his behind with his extraordinary speed.

Posting the clip on Instagram, the Netherlands winger wrote: "Welcome to the football world brother."

While Marshall responded: "Run it back."

Depay played for United between 2015 and 2017, winning an FA Cup and Europa League before joining Lyon, and then Barcelona in 2021.

He's since left the Catalans for LaLiga rivals Atleti, and is getting geared up for his first full season under Diego Simeone.

Joining in January for a reported €4million [£3m] due to Barca's financial difficulties, Depay managed four goals in nine games for the Madrid side.
