Man Utd target Strootman suffers knee injury with Roma

Manchester United target Kevin Strootman has suffered a fresh injury scare at AS Roma.

Strootman ruptured cruciate ligaments last March, costing him a place in Holland's World Cup squad and a probable move to Old Trafford.

For their 1-1 draw at Fiorentina, the 24-year-old suffered damage to the same knee during the first half and was quickly substituted.

Strootman was due to have tests yesterday and while Roma are cautiously optimistic, it appears highly unlikely that United would make a late bid for the player during this transfer window.
