Man Utd Transfers: 8 Deadline Day Signings That Would Break The Internet

7. Kevin Strootman

Van Gaal is reportedly a massive fan of Strootman and wants to bring him to United at the earliest opportunity. The problem is that the Dutchman has just suffered a set-back in his recovery and has undergone surgery on his knee, which will inevitably mean more time on the sidelines. So while the signing would be a great move in the long-term, if Van Gaal pressed ahead with a move for him despite the injury it would likely cause significant controversy given that some will see it as a potentially costly gamble.
