Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos has lifted the lid on his failed transfer to Manchester United, having come close to joining the club under David Moyes.
Kroos will be plotting a way past United’s neighbours this evening as Real host Manchester City in the second leg of their Champions League semi-final, with Liverpool lying in wait in the final in Paris. Had things turned out differently though, the Germany international could have been the answer to the midfield problems at Old Trafford.
The 32-year-old has revealed how he had spoken with former United boss Moyes during the 2013/14 season ahead of completing a move to the club from Bayern Munich. Moyes had made the trip to Germany to meet Kroos and his family, with the midfielder going on to give his word on a potential transfer.
