Manchester United working on Kevin Strootman move
Manchester United manager Louis Van Gaal targets Kevin Strootman, as the Dutch midfielder returned last week in action for AS Roma. Strootman came on as a second-half substitute after Roma’s 3-0 victory over Torino. The Dutch came back to action after 8 months following a knee-injury.
Even though Roma have claimed several times that they are not ready to sell Strootman, Manchester United are reportedly going to make another enquiry for the midfielder. Van Gaal has expressed his admiration for the Dutchman several times. This summer he had said: “Other players, not at Manchester United, I can’t judge – I am not there. Strootman I can judge, but he has been injured for more than six months.”We have to wait and see how he comes back. It’s not so easy to come back out of an injury, so we’ll wait and see.”
