Man United transfers: Toni Kroos reacts to Red Devils link
Man United transfers: Toni Kroos plays down speculation linking him with a big-money move to Old Trafford
Toni Kroos has played down speculation linking him with a transfer to Manchester United by insisting that he “belongs” to Bayern Munich.
The 24-year-old was part of the Bayern side who earned a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford on Tuesday night in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final.
I belong to Bayern Munich and that’s good

With Kroos’s contract set to expire at the end of next season, the Germany international has seen himself linked with a big-money move to the Red Devils as David Moyes looks to bolster his attacking options.
However, the player himself has poured cold water on the speculation about his future by suggesting that he is prepared to stay at the Allianz Arena.
“I belong to Bayern Munich,” Kroos told German media.
“[Old Trafford] is a beautiful stadium, but I belong to Bayern Munich and that’s good.”
Kroos’s comments come after Bayern Munich chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge insisted that the player is set to stay at the Bundesliga club.
“Toni Kroos is sure to play in a Bayern Munich shirt next year as well,” Rummenigge said.
