Former Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos has said he snubbed a move to Manchester United after they “kicked out” David Moyes as manager.
Kroos almost moved to the Premier League side in 2014 when he left Bayern Munich.
Speaking to Sport 1, the now-retired midfielder revealed he had reached an agreement with United.
“In 2014, before I signed with Real Madrid, I already had an agreement with Manchester United. It would have been a switch from Bayern to United.
“But then they kicked out David Moyes, who I was still sitting on my sofa with in Munich. United hired Louis van Gaal, and then I politely declined.”
Kroos eventually signed for Real Madrid, where he went on to win 22 titles in his 463 appearances: 4 European Cups, 5 Club World Cups, 4 European Super Cups, 4 LaLiga titles, 1 Copa del Rey and 4 Spanish Super Cups.
