Toni Kroos – Bayern Munich to Manchester United
The 24-year-old German’s future at Bayern Munich is in doubt following difficulties negotiating a new deal that have been compounded by his strop at being substituted by Pep Guardiola in the victory over Borussia Moenchengladbach on Friday. Kroos’ contract expires in 2015 and he has suggested he will not sign an extension unless the terms suit him.
As a result Manchester United have stepped up their interest in the Germany international. David Moyes was in the stands to see Kroos throw his toys out of the pram on Friday and it is now believed a bid for the unsettled German, that he was initially plotting to make in summer, has been ushered forward.
Having already strengthened his midfield with the signing of Juan Mata, Moyes is eager to aid new recruits to his ailing squad that are struggling in seventh place in the league. Kroos would provide a huge boost to United’s poor midfield with a passing accuracy of 92% and 86% take on success rate for the European champions. Despite The Scot insisting United can attract the best players without the guarantee of Champions League football, signing Kroos would be an excellent piece of business if Bayern are willing to sell.’
