Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal remains in the hunt for AS Roma midfielder Kevin Strootman.
Van Gaal will monitor Strootman's recovery from his latest knee operation in the hope that he won't have to redraw his plans for next season.
The Dutchman showed his loyalty to Strootman last season when he gave him as much time as possible to save his World Cup dream.
However, with the midfielder out for the season, Van Gaal now faces a crunch decision over whether to pursue him this summer.
