Former PSV Eindhoven boss Dick Advocaat believes that Kevin Strootman could soon join Manchester United, despite the Dutchman only signing for Roma in the summer.
The 23-year-old was linked with the Premier League champions before eventually joining Roma, but Advocaat has backed the Dutchman to join a club at "the absolute top".
"Strootman is a pure professional," Advocaat told Algemeen Dagblad. "It frankly surprised me that he did not get to the absolute top last summer and was on the side a little.
"I do not think he will stay at Roma that long. If Kevin is at this level, he will be plucked away. And then it will be a team of the calibre of Manchester United."
However, Roma are unlikely to entertain any offer for a player who has not even completed half a season for them.
