Man Utd Transfers: 5 Alternatives For Thiago Alcantara

1. Kevin Strootman

kevin strootman PSV Eindhoven midfielder Kevin Strootman is another midfield transfer target for Manchester United this summer, but despite all the speculation linking him with Old Trafford, the 23-year-old admitted this week that he has yet to receive an offer from the English champions. United have apparently stopped short of making a concrete bid for the Netherlands international, who is also wanted by Roma. Yet he'd be a fantastic addition at the Theatre of Dreams and could be the ideal replacement for Paul Scholes. He could even be a replacement for Roy Keane, in fact, with the former Utrecht man earning the nickname as "the Dutch Roy Keane", thanks to his "uncompromising" style of play. Strootman is a physically strong, tactical, box-to-box midfielder, best deployed in a central role. He has made 187 appearances for PSV, scoring 27 times. The youngster has also been capped at international level 18 times by the Netherlands, scoring once. Do you think United can still sign Thiago? Who should David Moyes sign instead? Let us know in the comment section, below.
