The former Manchester United man Memphis Depay collected the Ligue 1 goal of the year award in Paris on Monday night in a stunning “Michael Jackson” looking dress.

Depay won the award for his wonderful effort when he scored from the half way line against Toulouse for Lyon:

However, the win was put down as he turned up in “what has been described by many as a reject from Michael Jackson’s wardrobe.” In addition to him being renowned for his eclectic fashion sense, maybe his dress is meant to be a tribute for the late singer, as Depay is known to be a huge MJ fan.

Here’s the reaction from Twitter:

@ManUtd_HQ Clearly he still hasn't learned acting and looking like a twat on a permanent basis was one of the reasons he got the boot

Well his mentality has always been a question. Against Lorient he said 'fish on the menu'. Then Lyon lost 4 1.

@amir_keal Just seen the article: http://metro.co.uk/2017/04/09/memphis-depays-tweet-spectacularly-backfires-as-manchester-united-flop-hits-new-low-at-lyon-6563817/

That is real funny hahaha

Yeah Lorient Nick name is " les Merlus " ( kind of fish ) so it was a soft banter but his atitude In general even at United won't let him progress that much in his career just like Balo.

He is simply that kind of player wich is extremly talented but have some problem with his mentality. :(

It's frustrating to see a player where you knew that if they only got their shit together they would be spectacular. Most of us don't have the ability and/or circumstance to have his opportunities and he's just totally oblivious. It's downright insulting, tbh.

Balotelli would be proud :)

@quikzyyy definitely lol

@Sunflash To be fair, getting your shit together is a skill in itself, for some people its easy and quite simple, for other its quite hard or next to impossible. I agree its a shame though and a waste of talent. :(

@Fero Wait, Depay is a MJ fan? Ok, his taste is mostly bad but there might still be hope for him yet. :P

i gotta say that is pretty awful...

Alferroa

I will admit, Lorient's reply was funny as well.

@liomessi10 it looks good on MJ because you know... he's MJ, but depay. NO.

@Fero Couldn't have said it better myself. XD
