Toni Kroos: "Before signing for Real Madrid, I already had an agreement with Manchester United"

Toni Kroos is one of the best footballers in history and confessed that he had a previous agreement with United: "In 2014, before signing for Real Madrid, I already had an agreement with Manchester United. It would have been a change from Bayern to United ", revealed the German player in the weekly podcast he hosts with his brother.

Kroos took advantage of the moment to reveal what he said to Manchester United and how he rejected them because he knew that his move to Real Madrid was coming: "They fired David Moyes, with whom I was sitting on my sofa in Munich. United hired Louis van Gaal and then I politely rejected him," confessed the former Real Madrid footballer.

There are decisions that change the future of players, and the one Toni Kroos made was definitely the best. After signing for Real Madrid, he won 23 titles, including 5 Champions Leagues. Furthermore, on several occasions, he was part of the shortlist of the best 11 players in the world. He is undoubtedly a reference in the merengue team and has great affection from the fans.

Now, what happened with Manchester United was the opposite after the departure of Sir Alex Ferguson from the Red Devils, the team collapsed. The titles they have achieved in the last decade are few. There is no doubt that Kroos made the best decision in playing 10 years with the Spanish team.

For Kroos it was clear that his last team would be considered the best club in history, just as his career was great, he should retire in a giant club: "No more Real, no more football. I always wanted to retire at the best moment of my career. I never wanted to have the feeling that the club, the fans and the people around me had to tell me at the end: 'It's over!'
