Manchester United fans have expressed their delight on social media after hearing reports that the club are plotting to make a move for Roma defensive midfielder Radja Nainggolan this summer.
Italian newspaper Gazzetta detto Sport recently reported that the Manchester United giants are prepared to splash the cash and spend around £40million in order to secure the signature of the 29-year-old.
The Belgian has been plying his trade at the Serie A club for three years and he has been a driving force in helping Roma challenge Juventus for the league title.
The fans from the red half of Manchester took to social media and they all appear to be delighted at the prospect of watching the Belgian enforcer at Old Trafford next season.
This is Futbol has rounded up some of their best tweets:

Lots of talk about midfielders but we should go for Radja Nainggolan. Guy would release Pogba and bring a better dynamic to the team. #MUFC

Would definitely prefer the class and skills that #Nainggolan has over Matic, who's basically just another Fellaini. #mufc

It appears that the majority of United fans would prefer the club to sign the Belgian over a number of reported summer targets such as Chelsea’s Nemanja Matic and Monaco’s Fabinho.
Nainggolan is certainly a player who can provide United with goals as he contributed with 14 goals and seven assists for Roma in all competitions last season.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic was the only player in the entire United squad to score more goals than the Belgian midfielder during the previous campaign.
