Holland international Strootman is Louis van Gaal’s first choice option as he looks to sign a world class midfielder this summer.
The 25-year-old suffered a setback in his recovery from knee ligament damage in January - and will have to prove his fitness before United commit to a bid in excess of £40m.
Should he fail to do that then Van Gaal will have to consider alternative options, with Pogba continually linked with a return to Old Trafford.
But United sources insist they have no plans to move for the Frenchman, who left the club in 2012.
The 22-year-old is set to spark an intense battle for his signature, with Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester City, Chelsea, Bayern Munich and Paris St Germain all monitoring his situation at Juventus.
