Manchester United fans here in the Tavern are praying that Jose Mourinho adds to his ranks in the summer, with this season’s performances failing to reach the expectations of many.
The Red Devils have had a season to forget in many respects, with bitter rivals Manchester City amassing an unassailable lead to the top of the Premier League table. But, it hasn’t been all doom and gloom for our local residents here in the Tavern, as many believe that the addition of Alexis Sanchez could be huge for bringing potential trophies to Old Trafford in years to come.
Much to the delight of supporters, Jose Mourinho’s transfer window business hasn’t stopped with the signing of the Chilean, as he looks to bring in support for the likes of Paul Pogba and Nemanja Matic. Indeed, the Special One is eyeing up a move for midfielder Toni Kroos in the summer, after identifying him as their primary transfer target. And, with him currently rated at £72.m by Transfermarkt, the German is undoubtedly one of the most highly-rated midfielders in the whole of world football.
Indeed, after witnessing the scenes that the signing of Alexis Sanchez brought to the stands at Old Trafford, here’s TWO reasons as to why landing £72m-rated Toni Kroos would top that to be their best signing in years…
Missing dynamic
Toni Kroos has been the unsung hero in Real Madrid’s rise to stardom over the last couple of seasons, with his midfield role in the team often allowing for the stars around him to excel and express themselves.
Indeed, in Manchester United’s current ranks, there’s a void in the middle of midfield for a ball-playing midfielder to grace the scene, an aspect of the game that comes as one of the German’s specialities. This is a huge boost for United, as Paul Pogba’s forward bursts and Nemanja Matic’s ability to sit back and defend haven’t gone hand in hand thus far, with the Serbian often struggling to support in more attacking areas.
However, adding Toni Kroos to the Manchester United squad could finally see them acquire the middle man, to operate in the central area of the midfield to link up play from defensive to attacking areas.
Consistent quality
Toni Kroos plays a simple footballing game but executes it to perfection, with the German taking pride from producing world-class performances on a regular basis.
One of United’s current worries is that former world-record signing Paul Pogba is struggling to produce moments of magic at a consistent level, something that’s had its implications for the Red Devils this season.
Therefore, the addition of Toni Kroos in the summer months would see the Manchester club given a sense of security, with the German always laying down the foundations in the case of a Paul Pogba failure.
