Manchester United’s midfield has looked pretty bare this season after Paul Scholes retired, Darren Fletcher continued his fight back to the first team and the likes of Tom Cleverely and Marouane Fellaini failing to hit their potential. However, that is likely to change in the summer as David Moyes continues to put his stamp on the side, and one name who is being linked is Bayern Munich man Toni Kroos.
The 24-year-old is a major talent and anyone who saw him against Arsenal in the Champions League will agree.
The reports suggest that the Red Devils are ready to treble the player’s wages in order to secure his services, but what would they be getting should the German come into the club.
Moyes loves his players to get the ball wide and whip balls into the box, so it’s crucial to have a solid central unit.
Kroos is a player who keeps the ball moving with his exquisite range of passing and his awareness – attributes which has helped him achieve a 93% pass completion rate over his 27 games in the Bundesliga and Champions League this season.
The competition is huge at Bayern and I feel as if he would benefit from being the main man in the middle of the pitch, rather than one of many.
I think he’s a player who would complement the balance of the team and go some way to helping Moyes find his own brand of football.
