Kevin Strootman 'agrees to Manchester United switch'

Roma star Kevin Strootman will allegedly join Manchester United next summer.

Roma midfield star Kevin Strootman has allegedly agreed to join Manchester United next summer, according to Dutch journalist Hugo Borst.

The reporter claims that the Netherlands international informally agreed to the switch after speaking with Red Devils boss Louis van Gaal and striker Robin van Persie at an Eredivisie match.

"In the spring of 2014 there was a match between PSV and Feyenoord," the writer told talkSPORT. "Robin van Persie was in the stands, along with Louis van Gaal. On the other side was Kevin Strootman. The pair chatted, this was when people knew Van Gaal was going to Manchester United.

"Van Gaal asked Strootman whether he was interested in playing for Manchester United, and he said he was very willing. They have shaken hands on the deal.

"It won't be in January but it will be next summer. He is an outstanding player."

Strootman only recently made his first Roma appearance since March following a spell on the sidelines due to a persistent knee injury.
