Manchester United manager Louis Van Gaal refused to rule out a transfer move for AS Roma midfielder Kevin Strootman this summer. Van Gaal's preparations for the new campaign have been dealt a blow with a long term injury to Michael Carrick.
Reports suggest that United could make a move for Roma midfielder Kevin Strootman, with the player valued at around 25 million euros.
During United's pre-season friendly tour, Louis van Gaal refused to dodge a question about a move for Kevin Strootman thus indicating he is indeed interested in the Dutchman.
"I never say anything about individual players - it's my vision that we have to be about the team and not individual players," Van Gaal commented.
"Other players, not at Manchester United, I can't judge - I am not there. Strootman I can judge, but he has been injured for more than six months.
"We have to wait and see how he comes back. It's not so easy to come back out of an injury, so we'll wait and see."
