Manchester United will continue their big-spending strategy in January, and have put Kevin Strootman at the top of their wishlist.
The Premier League outfit spent over £150m over the summer bringing in the likes of Radamel Falcao, Angel di Maria and Ander Herrera.
But The Guardian has insisted that Louis van Gaal will be given even more funds during the winter window to improve the squad.
And the paper believes that the Roma midfielder will be their number one priority come January, as they look to bolster their options.
The Netherlands international impressed during his first season in the Italian capital, but suffered a terrible knee injury towards the end of the campaign that saw him miss the World Cup.
Reports are that Strootman will be available to play in October, and Manchester United will wait until then to see if the 24-year-old is back to his full capacity.
If he is, then the Old Trafford will come in with a bid, thought to be in the region of around €30m.
