Manchester United have been heavily linked with a move for German international and Bayern Munich midfielder Toni Kroos over the past few months.
The transfer saga has dragged for far too long with the Kaiser not yet agreeing a new move with the German champions.
There are no arguments about which team is better at the moment. Bayern won treble last season and added three more trophies under Pep Guardiola this season including league, cup and the Fifa Club World Cup.
Still, €36m star midfielder wants to leave one of the best clubs in the world and that too for Man United who will not even be playing Champions League football next term.
Former Red Devil star Owen Hargreaves revealed why Toni Kroos wants to move on from Bayern and likes Manchester United move. The former Bayern star reveals that money is the main reason. He claimed:
“Not many players leave Bayern Munich. I only wanted to leave because I’d spent 10 years there, so for me, it wasn’t a money thing, I just wanted a new challenge,”
“I represented England and I wanted to play in that league. With Kroos, it’s different. He’s been at Bayern Munich for a long time since he went there at a young age from Hansa Rostock.”
“But this is more of a money issue than anything. I think the bigger question is: “would he suit the Premier League? Is he going to suit a team who play 4-4-2 with two strikers up top?”
United can offer him a mammoth contract that for now he is unable to get from Bayern Munich.
Although Guardiola wants to keep Kroos, still with so many midfield options at disposal like Schweni, Alcantara and Martinez etc, Bayern may as well consider a huge offer for the German star.

Kroose don’t mind Hagreaves, united is the best place to be as far as football( trophy, recongnition & money) is concerned. Don’t judge United with the past season, Luis Vangar is on his way to take united to their normal no.1 position. Kroose, a word they say is enough for the wise. come to united where you will never regret life
Kroos* /// van Gaal* /// And even with Louis van Gaal they’re still not better than Bayern. It will take a lot more than a new manager and 1 new midfielder to achieve #1 in the Premier League.
–Football has become too much about money.
Owen—Man U have just confirmed that Van Gaal will be their next Manager. Last I checked, LVG is WED to a 4-3-3 system. Kroos will fit quite nicely at Man U…..and Yes, finally receive a fair salary.
Owen- P’se man u has a legacy which is far more than one season and a very rich club which every player with a long-time vision would dream to be associated with so Kroos is a visionary. So go kroos go don’t look back
Owen-Man U had now got a person that can take them back to position one. I believe Kroos will be suitable for 4-4-2 system.
kroos you have already achieved all your goal with Bayern so let’s try your next target in man.utd pls we love you there.
It seems like Owen Hargreaves’ mind is also injured. It cannot help him understand that King Louis prefers 4-3-3 system. Soccer is a short term career. There is nothing wrong if Kroos wants to become a Devil because he wants to be paid accordingly – as long as he is not going to be a liability like you. Kroos has the right to tell his arrogant employers that he wants parity which is being viewed as an offence by Owen and Bayern management. Ed Woodward must go for him!!!
Come over here alaye.Zero competition
Hagrieves must be unconscious of his utterances,Kroos should not mind him.
