2. Kevin Strootman
Along with the previously-mentioned necessity for Moyes to enhance United's defence over the summer, the Scotsman also has to address his midfield. Paul Scholes has retired again and Ryan Giggs can't be that far away, either, in spite of his astonishing evergreen qualities. Meanwhile, there are concerns over illness-stricken Darren Fletcher, while Anderson
looks set to be sold after once more failing to live up to his potential last season. That all leaves one very obvious gap in United's engine room and one that Moyes has to bridge. The overriding feeling is that the 50-year old needs to bring in a box-to-box midfielder in the vein of Roy Keane, a talent United have lacked for far too long. Who better then than the
"Dutch Roy Keane"? This is the nickname handed to PSV Eindhoven's Kevin Strootman, who has made a reputation for himself recently as a physical, tactical and strong midfielder and, as well as being capable of operating in a box-to-box role, can also play in central midfield or as a deep-lying playmaker. He is precisely the sort of player United need and is reportedly
close to signing.
