Serie A Midfielder Could End Up At Manchester United, But What Could He Offer?

I almost put money on this transfer going ahead in the summer I was that confident of it happening, but as it is he went to Roma. I am of course referring to Netherlands international Kevin Strootman. After missing out on the likes of Cesc Fabregas, Thiago Alcantara and Ander Herrera, I thought that this would be the one, but alas. Now the same paper, the Daily Mail, reporting the links to the names I just mentioned have quoted PSV Eindhoven gaffer Dick Advocaat regarding the future of the midfielder.

5 Reasons Why I love Serie A

Maybe its because Italian blood runs through my veins, but Serie A has always been one of my favourite leagues to watch.

And that, football fans, is how the downswing of Italian football league began.

They may have lost one of their rising stars to Ligue 1 champions PSG, and their keeper to west London club Fulham, but the forthcoming season is looking up for AS Roma after the acquisition of Dutch midfield enforcer Kevin Strootman. The 23-year-old, already hailed as the reincarnation of the retiring Mark van Bommel, is a solid addition to the capital side which already boasts the talents of the loyal Daniele De Rossi and growing fan favourite Michael Bradley.
