Finally the Man United bos continues to hold a torch for AS Roma’s Kevin Strootman, a player who rose to prominence in Louis van Gaal’s Dutch national team set-up, and fitness pending the Premier League side are prepared to stump up as much as £25m for the tigerish midfielder.
Strootman moved to the Stadio Olimpico last summer and showed great promise before being sidelined with a long term knee injury in March, which curtailed his involvement at the World Cup finals.
Louis van Gaal is keen to bring in the box to box performer and is ready to trim his midfield options in order to may room for such an addition.
Man United are ready to sell Belgian Marouane Fellaini and will hope to make Tom Cleverley’s Aston Villa loan move a permanent one to help balance the books.
