Why Manchester United Fans Should Be Excited About Kroos Rumours

Manchester United boss David Moyes has been under severe pressure in the recent months and it is clear that reinforcements are needed in the summer transfer window, in various areas of the pitch.

But it’s the central midfield area that has been the highest priority for the fans. United have been linked with many central midfielders since January. Toni Kroos seems to be a prime target for the red devils, with the treble winning midfielder reportedly unhappy with his contract situation at the Bayern Munich.

It is claimed that United are attempting to unsettle the German even more, offering Kroos a staggering £250,000 a week, if he decides to leave. That is three times as much, per week, than he is currently earning. 

This comes following securing the services of Wayne Rooney for another 5 years, with a contract worth up to £85million. It is clear that Moyes needs to splash the cash in order to keep up with Chelsea and their city rivals and signing Kroos would be a superb addition to their squad.

He is a complete midfielder. Box to box, intelligent on and off the ball, and as we have seen against Arsenal last week, he has the ability to score from range. To me, Kroos is a similar player to Paul Scholes and there is no doubting that the United faithful would be ecstatic to see him in United red.
