<strong>Former PSV Eindhoven midfielder Kevin Strootman has revealed that Manchester United did not make a serious offer and is happy to have joined Serie A side AS Roma.</strong>
The 23 year old was the subject of intense interest from English champions Manchester United and Serie A giants AC Milan, but eventually agreed for a move to the Italian capital.<br />
Both United and Milan were interested in his signature but never tabled any serious bids for the young Dutch midfielder.<br />
He told La Gazzetta dello Sport: "Did Manchester United and AC Milan want me? Only Roma came forward seriously for me and I liked their project.<br />
"Rudi Garcia called me and convinced me to make the move, and I'm happy to be here.<br />
"There are so many good players here, as well as the new ones like Maicon, (Mehdi) Benatia and Gervinho.<br />
"I want to prove that I am worth all the money (£15.6m) that Roma spent on me, and then I want to win something."
