Van der Kraan told Talksport: "Memphis Depay is the man who is the sensation in the Dutch league. He is liftng that PSV side.
"Depay has been linked with Manchester United.
"People think Louis van Gaal will take him, but the fact that Liverpool scouts are in Eindhoven almost every week to watch the player signals to me that Liverpool are a strong contender for the boy incase they lose one of their top forwards."
