MANCHESTER UNITED have been handed a huge boost in their pursuit of
Kevin Strootman after Roma sounded out a replacement in Atletico Madrid
enforcer Mario Suarez.
Roma's sporting director Walter Sabatini insists that the playmaker is not for sale this January, but fresh reports in Italy claim that manager Rudi Garcia is ready to take United's money and run.
Strootman is yet to play since early March after injuring his knee against Napoli, and with Radja Nainggolan turning in fine performances alongside Daniele De Rossi, Seydou Keita and Miralem Pjanic, Strootman may find it hard to regain his best form and win back his place in the starting XI.
United are willing to pay as much as £40million to land the Holland international, and it has now emerged that Roma are eyeing up a move for Atletico anchorman Suarez.
The Spaniard is likely to only cost around £10million, leaving Roma with a healthy profit to spend on other parts of the squad should Strootman make the switch to Old Trafford.
