Manchester United’s midfield problems can end if they can lure their top summer transfer target Toni Kroos from Bayern Munich.
The latest news suggest that the Red Devils have more than just little hope of luring the talented star to Old Trafford.
According to reports, Toni Kroos’s brother has come up and stated that the Bayern star is considering a move to Manchester United which has been the club of their dreams since childhood.
Felix Kroos who plays for Werder Bremen claimed:
“We have already talked about it. Manchester has been the team of my dreams since I was a child.”
“‘However, I don’t give him any advice. He will take a good decision for himself. There are worse situations than having to decide something like that.”
Although his statements are still confusing as all over, the media is suggesting that Toni Kroos is considering a move to United, but this also suggests that Felix is interested in a move to Old Trafford as well.
United can surely offer him a mammoth contract but can they offer him Champions league football next season, highly unlikely.
Bayern Munich would want atleast €36m for their star midfielder as reported earlier.

we need kroos,,,pls moyes do something
That’s a complete midfielder.. He will solve every problem we are experiencing now.. But its really unlikely he comes only if UTD pay him 200k cos there’s no champions league football next summer
We need several players and a clear out in the summer if we’re to seriously challenge for the title next season, Moyes has so far got it spectacularly wrong this season so he needs to make a bold but positive statement in the summer transfer market if he’s to turn things around and keep himself in a job which is clearly what United want to do by giving him the time to get it right.
Its obvious where Moyes needs to strengthen so here’s a list of transfers in and out that should put things right in the squad along with a rough price guide of the money it will most probably take to do it too:
DEFENCE.
Vidic out on free transfer, Garay in for £15m.
Ferdinand retire to coaching role, Hummels in for £25m.
TOTAL SPEND £40m.
MIDFIELD.
Anderson out for £8m, Kroos in for £30m.
Fellaini out for £18m, Koke in for £25m.
Giggs retire to coaching role, Gundogan in for £20m.
TOTAL SPEND £49m.
ATTACK.
Hernandez out for £20m, Reus in for £30m.
Valencia out for £15m, Costa in for £35m.
Young out for £10m, promote Powell for free.
TOTAL SPEND £25m.
OVERALL SPEND TOTAL £114m.
These transfers are both realistic and very possible provided we do our business early and make them happen, with 7 top players coming in the strength in depth of the squad will certainly make us title challengers again an show a statement of intent to our rivals too! Here is an idea of how our squad could field next season with these transfers completed:
De Gea.
Lindengaard.
Rafael, Hummels, Garay, Evra.
Smalling, Evans, Jones, Buttner.
Kroos, Gundogan, Koke.
Kagawa, Carrick, Mata.
Reus, Van Persie, Rooney.
Nani, Costa, Januzaj.
Amos, Fabio, Fletcher, Cleverley, Powell and Welbeck complete the squad.
I’ve put the formation as a 4-3-3 although with the strength of this squad we could just as easily play a variety of other formations depending on the opposition, one things for sure with this squad Moyes would have no hiding place so if he’s unable to win a trophy and at least challenge for the title next season then it’d prove if he really is the right man to succeed SAF.
