Moyes was after him, had gone and scouted him, Kroos fancied coming here but LVG when he came in didn't want him. Thanks Louis.
Champions League — quarter-finals and semi-finals draw
- Thread starter Red Star One

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
I thought it was Moyes the turned down Kroos. Maybe I’m wrong.
Has Kim been a bit of a flop?
Van Gaal was the manager at Bayern Munich when Kroos was still early in his senior career. Considering Van Gaal's very rigid views, he must have said to the ignorant people above him that Kroos is not the type of midfielder he wants in his team based on what HE saw.
There is zero chance Kroos would pick Utd over Real Madrid.

No. Moyes thought he was getting him.
Aaaah, thanks. Instead he got us Bastian, who spend majority of the time traveling around the world watching his, then, girlfriend play tennis.
He had a pretty convincing start until Tuchel decided to bench him most of the time, apparently for not being able to communicate with his partners in defense effectively.
That would be a bit of an asset.
Madrid's composure, maturity and mentality in these ties is absolutely insane.
Far better than any other team on the planet. Even if they are not easy on the eye, they are most likely to get results in these big European games.

They'll stay camped in their half and hit us later on the counter again, probably should switch off.
I will never forgive Bayern for selling Sadio Mane and thus denying us all the chance to see a Kane Mane Sane front line
It was van Gaal. Moyes had the deal done.
Albania then
That mentality from the BBC, Ramos and Pepe days has transferred to Rudiger, Valverde, Tchouameni, Jude and Vini. Elite recruitment.
Isn't this where the players find tricks between themselves to communicate despite a language barrier?
Think Real are solid because between Jude, Kroos, Tchouameni and Valverde they all occupy the central midfield so have great positional awareness and discipline. Almost impossible to break them down through the middle, it's a fantastic defensive display.

So many people said Kroos's legs were gone about 7 years ago, yet still doing it if he's within the right system/trust and without Modric.
Shows that Ancelotti is the king of getting the maximum out of the talent he has.

I'm not sure if I want Madrid to lose. This Bayern side seems so weak that I'm not confident they can beat PSG in the final. I would definitely rather Madrid get another Champions League than PSG get their first.
To be fair the Bayern fans are still singing, over here fans would go silent.
but..but...but...he is playing a counter attacking system!!
Good laaawdThat fan in the Albania flag
Close from Kane.
Lucky that was just outside the box.
Almost hit self destruct here in the person of Mazraoui
They both look great as long as not paired with the other, can remember it was similar for Xavi and Iniesta in Xavi’s last season at Barca

Bayern have Upamecano, Kim and de Ligt with one of de Ligt and Kim out of favour. We should really be in the hunt for one of them to come United.
Will Guerreiro or Davies come in for Mazroui
Take Upamecano
If Kim cannot communicate he would fit right into our defence.
Not that surprising add they both carry long-term injuries and haven't played for weeks.
They are far from their best.
