AS Roma midfielder Kevin Strootman has assured Louis van Gaal he wants to join Manchester United. Hugo Borst, the author of Van Gaal biography entitled 'O, Louis,' claims the 24-year-old has already told his compatriot that he will join him in the Premier League.
He is quoted by the Daily Express: "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."
