Manchester United are keen to sign German international Toni Kroos from Bayern Munich and for now things are moving in their favor.
The Red Devils have been really poor in the midfield department this season and Kroos is someone who can fix that dilemma once and for all.
United are unlikely to qualify for next year’s champions league and that was considered a major obstacle in signing the Kaiser. Not any more.
The €36m Star has Given massive hope of Moving to Manchester United by claiming:
“It is no secret that the Premier League is a possibility for me. But no one has come to any agreement with me and it will stay like this until the summer and, some time, a decision will be made.”
“I think I am a person where a lot is possible for me. But I have to think about this for myself to reach a complete decision. There will be a decision in the future but one without giving you any time frame.”
Kroos was questioned about whether he will be looking to join a club that will not be part of Champions league, he replied.
“I will consider everything. If I should leave.”
Such a statement should give Manchester United even more hope after knowing from Kroos’s borhter Felix that both dream of United.
David Moyes should be considered favorite to lure his number one summer target and he must do all to lure him.
Losing him now will be a massive failure, one that will infuriate everyone attached with the club.

Kroos will also have to seriously consider whether playing for a Real Man Utd Moron of a manager would be something worthwhile for his career development, that is the real dilemma for him unlike if it was Fergie going after him, the club would secured his services and a few others in the previous summer or recent winter transfer window.
Actually Fergie wouldn’t have signed him because of the Glazers’ debt… After 2009 United have been one of the stingiest Premier League spenders (I believe Stoke have spent at least 20m more on new players than United have). The good thing is that Moyes being unable to motivate his current squad will have an enormous war chest to spend in the summer to protect the Glazers’ golden egg. Kroos (or Hamsik) and Carvalho will be more than enough to make our midfield very solid with the in-form Fellaini and Carrick pinching in as subs. Jones is great at the back when fit, so all we need is two midfielders, a solid center back like Mangala, Hummels or Garay to replace Vidic and a left back to replace Evra (most likely Coentrao). With that in mind United will take four big money transfers to overhaul all areas of the pitch that need strengthening. I hope Van Persie stays, but if he doesn’t, we can use Rooney as center forward (his favorite position and Welbeck as a sub), Mata as second striker (his favorite position and Kagawa as a sub) and Januzaj and Nani (yes, I said Nani) as starting wingers. Here’s how I see United s best formation (4-2-3-1) for next season with approximately 100m spent on new players and cashing in on RvP, Chicharito, Cleverley and Evra and with Rio and Giggsy retiring :
———————————————-De Gea———————————————–
Rafael(Smalling)——Jones(Smalling)–Mangala(Evans)—Coentrao(Buttner)
——————-Carvalho(Carrick, Fletcher)–Kroos(Fellaini, Powell)—————
Nani(Zaha, Valencia)————-Mata(Kagawa)———-Januzaj(Nani, Kagawa)
————————————-Rooney (Welbeck)——————————————
Let me know what you think of that 🙂
