2. Strootman is one of the elite centre midfielders in the world: Being touted as the long term successor of De Rossi there is simply no doubting the class of Kevin Strootman. While it was apparent that there was a problem in central midfield at Manchester United, buying the Roma star will go a long way to solving that problem. After all Louis Van Gaal once speaking about the Dutch national team said that only three players should consider their place in the World Cup team secure and Kevin Strootman was one of those players. Despite injury robbing him of the chance to fulfill his ambitions of playing at the World Cup, signing him will mean that Manchester United will boast of a true world class midfielder in their ranks and will hope for the trio of Strootman-Rooney-RVP to blossom.
