Toni Kroos has no intention of being a Manchester United player next season. The Bayern Munich midfielder has long been linked with a move to Old Trafford but, as reported by the Guardian on Thursday, the 24-year-old is no longer a target for United and has now confirmed that he anticipates staying at the German champions.
“I am expecting to play for Bayern Munich next season,” Kroos told Bild.
“There was a lot of speculation, but Manchester is and was not an issue.
At this point in time I am fully focused on
preparations for the 2014 FIFA World Cup.”
Kroos has a year left with Bayern and has yet to accept their offer of an extension.
Rumours of a United move for Kroos started to circulate when David Moyes was in charge, although talk has cooled since the appointment of Louis van
Gaal.{Guardian}
