Manchester United’s long-term target Kevin Strootman has been on the sidelines since January, after undergoing an operation on his knee. The Roma midfielder’s recovery, it seems, is not going according to plan and the Serie A are looking at a replacement as a result. It was reported in the Italian newspaper Gazzetta Dello Sport that Roma feel the need to sign a top-quality midfielder rather than waiting on the Dutchman’s return, which is getting delayed more and more.
Stories of a transfer to United were extremely common in January, and it was also stated that the Red Devils were confident of landing him at Old Trafford.
