After Germany’s defeat in the quarter-final of Euro 2024 against Spain, Toni Kroos officially bowed out. Thus, the player who played for Bayern Munich and Real Madrid ended a long career during which he notably won 3 Bundesliga, 3 Liga and 5 Champions League. Since then, the newly retired has created his own football club in Madrid and embarked on a project similar to the Kings League in Germany. In the meantime, Toni Kroos does not hesitate to confide in the podcast of her brother, Félix. Recently, the 2014 world champion with the Mannschaft returned to an anecdote that he had revealed during an interview with the British tabloid The Athletic in 2020 according to which he had been close to signing for Manchester United before finally settling down in the Spanish capital in 2014 for 25 million euros.
“I could have. There was an agreement with Manchester United in 2014 before I signed for Real Madrid. I would have gone from Bayern Munich to Manchester“, declared the German before discussing the reasons for his refusal: “They fired David Moyes who was in negotiations with Bayern Munich and they signed Louis Van Gaal. From that point on, we both decided to end the deal. Moyes came specifically for me and the contract was almost signed. They fired him and things got complicated with Van Gaal. I didn’t hear from Manchester United for a while and I started to have doubts.»
