Manchester United To Make Club-Record £40m Bid - 3 Reasons Why Midfielder Would Be Perfect Addition

Toni Kroos is apparently the subject of a club-record bid of £40 million from Manchester United, which is news to excite those who support the Red Devils. The German midfielder is an exquisite talent, so here are three reasons why he would be the perfect addition.

1) Ball retention

Kroos' main attribute is the way he keeps hold of the ball. He has incredible technique in the pass and can instantly release the ball to anyone on the pitch, as his vision is superb. This season the Bayern Munich man has completed 93% of his overall passes, which tells you a lot about him.

United need that kind of accuracy and tenacity on the ball.

2) Attacking

Kroos is no stranger to finding the back of the net, though. He has three goals and six assists to his name this term between the Bundesliga and the Champions League, which could really be useful at Old Trafford.

United are crying out for a midfielder who can add energy and give another option when going forward.

3) Still young

Despite the fact Kroos has established himself as one of the best central midfielders in Europe, he is still only 24. He is younger than Tom Cleverley - let that sink in.
