Manchester United transfer news: Kevin Strootman will be offered the captaincy if he signs new five-deal with Roma

Big Deal: Dutch star to be offered captaincy if he stays in Roma

Manchester United target Kevin Strootman is to be offered the captaincy of Roma if he signs a new five-year contract in Italy.

Strootman is currently recovering from his second major knee injury in two years. Had he remained fit, there is a good chance he would now be at Old Trafford.
Despite these problems, reports in Italy indicate that Roma retain huge faith in the Dutch midfielder and are ready to build their future around him.
Strootman, 25, earns about £79,000 a week in the Italian capital and if he signs, he can expect to move closer to the club’s top earner, Italy midfielder Daniele de Rossi, who collects a weekly wage of £182,000 – which makes him the top earner in Italian football.
