Kevin Strootman (AS Roma)
The second Dutchman linked by the report is another long term United target in the shape of AS Roma midfielder Kevin Strootman, although the former PSV star did miss out on the World Cup with a long term injury that he has only just returned from. Strootman is yet to refind his form at the Stadio Olimpico since his return to action, meaning that the deal would carry a significant risk, but he is knows to be a player who van Gaal is a huge fan of. One issue could be the fee, however, with many previous reports having suggested that it would take more than the £30m sum mentioned alone to secure Strootman.
