Man Utd Transfers: 10 More Players Louis van Gaal MUST Sign Before Deadline Day

8. Kevin Strootman

Kevin Strootman would be another fantastic addition to the heart of United's midfield this summer. Strootman, like his Netherlands colleague Wesley Sneijder, has been on United's radar for some time now and has once again been linked with a move to Old Trafford this summer. Strootman is a tough-tackling midfielder and is highly physical and tactically strong, and usually plays in a box-to-box role. Such is his combative nature that he has been nicknamed "the Dutch Roy Keane" having drawn comparisons to the United legend due to his style of play. Currently at Italian side Roma, the midfielder hasn't played a competitive game since 9th March after sustaining a knee injury that is set to rule him out until at least next month. However, with Strootman on the verge of making his long-anticipated return from the sidelines, United have been monitoring developments and have kept close tabs on the player. Whether or not Louis van Gaal is willing to sanction a move for a player with such a bad track-record for injury however remains to be seen.
