Kroos agreed to join Man United in 2014, says Moyes

The former Red Devils manager says he was told by the then-Bayern Munich midfielder he would be coming to Old Trafford

David Moyes says Toni Kroos had agreed to come to Manchester United prior to his eventual move to Real Madrid in 2014.

The 2013-14 season was Moyes’ only one in charge of the Red Devils after he took over for the retired Sir Alex Ferguson at the start of that campaign.

That season saw the Red Devils finish seventh in the Premier League, and Moyes axed prior to the conclusion of the campaign.
