Depay will return to the Philips Stadion for the first time
on Tuesday since his £25million move from PSV to Old Trafford.
The Dutchman spent nine years at the club, rising through
the youth ranks before becoming a first-team star.

The club holds a special place in the 21-year-old's heart,
but that will not stop him from celebrating with all his might if he finds the
net in Eindhoven during Tuesday's Champions League group stage encounter.
"For me it's a game, so if I score I will celebrate,"
the United forward said.
"I have respect for PSV but I am a Manchester United
player now."
With that kind of ruthless attitude, it is easy to see why
Depay was top scorer in the Eredivisie with 22 goals last season.
That haul helped PSV to their first title in seven years,
but this year he is yet to find the net for United in the Premier League.
Louis van Gaal substituted Depay at half-time in Saturday's 3-1 win over Liverpool.
Depay earned a reputation as something of a hot head at times
during his time in Holland, but he did not lash out at Van Gaal for taking him
off at half-time.
"I think my reaction was good," he said.
"I will improve in training, keep my head up and work
on it and I think I can do better in games."
