Memphis has been in comparison to the former Manchester United player Cristiano Ronaldo and the fellow International Arjen Robben. Thijs Slegers commented about the comparisons “Memphis is a little bit like Cristiano; they have similar qualities, although there are of course areas where Memphis is inferior.
