New Manchester United signing Memphis Depay has said he wants to prove himself to be one of the best players in England.

The Dutch international will move to Old Trafford from PSV in the summer after the two clubs agreed a deal in the region of £25million.

Depay will also link up with his former national team coach Louis van Gaal when he arrives in Manchester.

"'Dream chaser' stands for me chasing my dreams," he said.

"I believe I can be one of the best players in the world and I have to dream and believe to achieve. It is tattooed on my chest.

"You just have to work every day on your dreams. My dreams started with going to the World Cup and then when I was there I scored two goals - becoming the youngest ever Dutch goalscorer - and I was very happy.

"But when the World Cup was finished I realised that was not it. I had to take more on to the pitch - there was more to do.

"So after the World Cup in pre-season I spoke to my manager and said I have to keep focused. Scoring in the World Cup was good but not the end of it. Now I am on fire."

Depay opted to remain in the Eredivisie last summer despite plenty of interest following those World Cup goals against Australia and Chile.

He revealed his former Holland coach and future United boss Louis van Gaal told him to keep improving on his game before he made a move for the forward - fending off reported interest from Paris St Germain and Liverpool.

"He is different," Depay said of Van Gaal.

"His performance on the training ground is different from other trainers. After the World Cup he told me to stay hungry and I told myself to stay hungry. When I made the decision to stay I wanted to be champion and top scorer. I set those goals and I hope to achieve them.

"It will be great to have an opportunity to train with him and work with him. Of course I am looking forward.

"I want to improve myself but Dutch players have played also in the Premier League and I spoke with many of them. I believe I can be a big player in the Premier League - I showed my ability in the World Cup.

"I am very excited. I was always reading about the Premier League. It has been a big dream and one that came true. But is not the end of the dream, it is just starting."
