January is still some way away but that hasn’t stopped a host of players being linked with Manchester United in recent weeks, chief of which has been Kevin Strootman.
Now the Dutch international is finally stet to make his long-awaited return from injury this weekend if he comes through a specially arranged fixture unscathed this week. Louis van Gaal has previously admitted he would monitor Strootman’s journey back to fitness and could now make a move in January.
Strootman was forced to miss the World Cup because of his knee injury - had he been fit, Manchester United may have made a move to sign him over the summer. As it stands however a January swoop could be on the cards according to the Telegraph, although Roma have previously been adamant that they won't sell at any price - although they did suggest that €100m may be enough.

The Colombian has struggled with injury of late, and the Sun say that the Red Devils may now opt against activating a clause which allows them to sign the striker permanently at the end of his loan spell this season.
