AS Roma president James Pallotta insists Kevin Strootman is not for sale. Strootman is again being linked with Manchester United this week.

"We'd be first in the League if it wasn't for the injuries to [Leandro] Castan and Strootman," Pallotta declared.

"Strootman will not go to [Manchester] United.

"Holebas and Manolas are integrating, and we're convinced that we'll fight for the Champions League.

"We have a five-year project and the [new] stadium [which the club has gained approval for] is part of this."
