The Reds had held talks with the exciting Holland international over a potential £25million transfer to Anfield and made him a contract offer.
Depay had also met representatives of Paris Saint-Germain as he weighed up his options.
However, the 21-year-old has instead opted to make the switch to Old Trafford where he will be reunited with his former international boss Louis van Gaal.
United made their move on Wednesday with Van Gaal speaking directly with Depay and once the player had made his mind up the club quickly agreed a fee with PSV.
Depay informed his PSV team-mates of his decision at training today. Pending the successful completion of the medical, the deal will go through once the transfer window opens in June.
Losing out on Depay, whose 21 league goals this term have fired PSV to the Eredivisie title, is a considerable blow to Liverpool’s summer recruitment plans.

There are more pressing needs currently, unless off course LFC are making provisions to actually sell RS. Otherwise, I'm not to fussed.

We might as well give up and close up a shop with this attitude.......
"Oh but he was asking for too much money"
"Oh but he wants to be in London"
"Oh but its LVG, of course he wants to play for him"
"Oh but they might be in the CL next season"
"Oh but this Oh but that"
Sick of all these excuses hiding the fact that we are being run in to the ground by a bunch of muppets
Hand in your resignations and sod the f**k off

Really I thought our main priority was getting someone that can SCORE goals.
He has scored 27 times this season for PSV, which is amazing considering he is a winger.
This is exactly the type of player that FSG, our transfer committee and execs should be moving heaven and earth to get us but once again we have missed out, what a surprise.
Why are we missing out on SO MANY F**KING players, surely it needs to dawn on us that something is not right at our club, especially as this lad was in direct talks with us.
But that's OK according to you we can easily get an 16yo academy player to come in and match Depay now at Manure :laugh:
The mind truly boggles.
