Manchester United forward Memphis Depay showed off his incredible leg muscles as he trained with his new side ahead of their pre-season tour opener against Club America.

The 21-year-old, a £25million signing from PSV Eindhoven, was put through his paces along with the rest of his United team-mates who were part of the 26-man squad to travel out to Seattle on Monday.

Depay, just like former United forward Cristiano Ronaldo, boasts monster calves which were evident throughout Wednesday's training session at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center in Seattle.

UNITED FIXTURES ON PRE-SEASON TOUR OF AMERICA

United vs Club America, Date: Friday 17 July, CenturyLink Field, Seattle, KO 20:00 (local time)

United vs San Jose Earthquakes, Date: Tuesday 21 July, Avaya Stadium, San Jose, KO 20:00 (local time)

United vs Barcelona, Date: Saturday 25 July, Levi's Stadium, Santa Clara, KO 13:00 (local time)

United vs Paris Saint-Germain, Date: Wednesday 29 July, Soldier Field, Chicago, KO 20:00 (local time)

Depay also sported what looked like an Egyptian tattoo on his left leg, adding to the lion one he already has on the back of the same leg, as well as the ones he already has on his arms and chest.

The 21-year-old is one for sentiments and he has words dedicated to his grandfather down his left arm.

Shortly after his 15th birthday, Depay's beloved grandfather passed away but the forward got the inking to remember him.

But the inkings don't stop there. He has a tattoo on the inside of his lip saying 'successful' and had 'dream chaser' inked on his upper chest, which he often reveals when celebrating a goal.

Depay explained the inking: 'That man gave me a lot of strength and took great care of me,' said Depay. 'At that moment I thought to myself: "I’ve got to go for it. I know where I want to go, and that is the top."'

In a interview in May the Dutch star also revealed the thinking behind the huge tattoo emblazoned on his chest.

'Dream chaser' stands for me chasing my dreams,' commented Depay, as the forward continues to chase his dreams as he made the next big step of his career by signing for Manchester United.

Club legend Lou Macari admitted he couldn't quite believe how big Depay was until he met him in person recently.

He told www.mufc.co.uk: 'Memphis really has shocked me. He is built like a tank. I can't believe what I'm seeing. I thought he was a frail, little guy but he's massive and strong with huge legs!'

Depay is one of a host of major signings Louis van Gaal has made in the close season, with the United boss making wholesale changes following their fourth placed finish last term.

The £39m capture of Bastian Schweinsteiger and Morgan Schneiderlin further underlines United's intent to challenge at the top of the Premier League this season.
