Memphis Depay hits up the Italian Riviera with fiancee Lori Harvey after goalscoring heroics for Lyon at Rennes

• e-mail

Former Manchester United man Memphis Depay has been enjoying his revival in French football, so much so that he's already decided to take an early season mini-break with fiancee Lori Harvey.

The striker has earned the chance to put his feet up after hitting the back of the net in Lyon's recent 2-1 victory over Rennes, a win which fired them momentarily to the top of the table on goal difference.

Depay made the trip to a secluded part of the luxurious Italian Riviera, crusing down on a speedboat to Portofino along with his other half.

The Dutchman was seen relaxing on the boat with Harvey, before the couple ventured ashore to dine out at a coastal restaurant.

Depay proposed to Harvey - stepdaughter of American comedian and TV personality Steve Harvey - in California back in June.

The couple made a huge show of the event, posting images to social media in abundance to mark their engagement.

The Italian trip is only a quick one for Depay however, who needs to report back to Lyon as his side bid to continue their strong early run.

Depay struck a free-kick opener to hand his side the lead against Rennes before Mariano Mejia scored his third in two weeks to make it 2-0. 

Lyon had already opened their Ligue 1 season with an impressive 4-0 masterclass over Strasbourg. 

Depay and co. return to action on Saturday, when Lyon are set to come up against Bordeaux.
