Manchester United, Everton and West Ham offered Kevin Strootman
Thursday 23 May 2019 08:28, UK
Manchester United, Everton and West Ham have been offered the chance to sign Marseille and Netherlands midfielder Kevin Strootman on loan.
Strootman, 29, was linked with moves to United when David Moyes and Louis Van Gaal were in charge at Old Trafford.
He signed for French club Marseille from Roma for £23m last summer and has been a mainstay in central midfield throughout the season.
But Marseille need to cut costs after disappointing season in which they are sat sixth in Ligue 1 with one round of fixtures left to play.
Manchester United are expected to undergo a massive overhaul this summer, but the emphasis will be on securing home-grown young players of potential.
Ed Woodward, executive vice-chairman, last week told investors the club would use their financial muscle to help manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer rebuild following a "turbulent" season.
