If a player insists on moving, then there can be a way. United would know the potential figures that would be involved in this deal. But yea, one thing wanting it to happen, quite another it actually happening.
Toni Kroos

I've always said he's the missing piece of our midfield. The controller, tempo dictator. Essentially a better Carrick.
A Matic Kroos Pogba midfield has everything.
Not gonna happen though.

dunno - depends if Madrid want Matic and Pogba
More chance of me starting for United than Kroos next season 
And me alongside you as defensive midfielder.More chance of me starting for United than Kroos next season
This really isnt happening, Id say there might be a possibility if Madrid were looking to ship him out in favour of a shiny new toy but theres no-one that would fit the bill as a replacement. SMS? Doesnt make sense even for Madrid. Promoting Kovacic to regular starter? Unlikely.
They were giving this a large amount of talk time on a French tv today. No idea what the hell they were saying but they gave it a good few minutes.
If not Kroos then Bale or Modric. We need to get someone from Madrid... they got Beckham Ronaldo and Ruud from us!
Pipe dream.
Ruud left because of Ronaldo...
Madrid reportedly intimated (earlier in the season) that all three of those players would be available for the right price this summer. That may subsequently have changed of course.
It would be silly to leave the biggest club in the world because of one player, but i'll take your word.
More chance of Tom Cruise appearing in EastEnders.
I think they are thinking about finding a replacement for Modric because he's turning 33 soon but since Kovacic is reportedly asking to leave, they likely will keep Modric.
It's hard to believe Bale will leave because Florentino Perez choose him...
Kroos would be perfect for United but he's 28 and still in his prime, so Madrid would be crazy to sell.
He's not needed now we have Fellaini for the next 3 years
midfield. What kinda answer do you want ?Isn't my word, it's Wazza's.
And I recall something like that at that time, so yeah, it happens.
If only we had a Ruud right now lol but hey, Lukaku is doing the job, though he could do better.
Well, given how it worked out (2006-09) it was the right decision...
I'm just sick of United never signing anyone from Madrid! Maybe this summer it finally happens...
We’re not blessed with ANY wingers never mind great ones !
If we get kroos this season I will ride my bike to work naked for a week.. Feck it a month.
We've just spent £45m on Fred and yet some of you are genuinely convinced that we'd buy Kroos and bench the guy who's just signed but hasn't played a single game.
I'm big fan of Matic and Kroos. I like Pogba but this midfield three lacks badly mobility to press when needed and I'm not sure they can cop when pressed at highest european/EPL level.
I'd expect those 3 to be able to dominate the midfield, But if we need to inject a little more combativeness without sacrificing too much creativity you can put Fred on for Pogba.
I would say that £45m squad players are not out of the ordinary now for the elite clubs.
We did in 2014.
Turned out well too
With Modric aging I see zero chance of Real Madrid selling Kroos and even less of a reason for him to want to leave, especially to come here.
Not if our budget is a reputed £150m and we need a first choice left back, a first choice right sided attacker and a top centre back. And we've already spent a chunk.
Signing Kroos is a non starter.
With Fellaini signing a new contract, unless anyone leaves, I cant imagine we'll be signing another centre midfielder.
We currently have:
Pogba
Fred
Matic
Fellaini
Herrera
McTominay
Lingard
People may argue that the quality isnt quite there, but in terms of numbers, we have more than enough options.

Agreed.
Not going to happen imo. Would be lovely though
I was agreeing with the comment that we won't be buying anyone else for midfield. We have more than enough at the moment.
But they were desperate to sell Di Maria to make room for James. I want we to get their best players just like they got Ronaldo and Beckham... it's about market power and control!
I know . Sorry I was agreeing with you but he would be great my, we have alot but he is a level above most of what we have .
Absolute dream signing. Him and Mahrez. But I can't see this happening.
We don't need Kroos since we renewed Fellaini's contract
This is of course not happening, but just to address the talk of diamond formation, it requires two capable full backs to provide width as well and generally a backline that's comfortable with the ball.
No white text
Agree with you mate. 6 or 7 is enough.
Jose said that we’d replace Carrick and then Fellaini if he didn’t sign the new deal. So I’m not expecting anymore mids.
Carrick was super important to us over the years though, so underrated, he probably needed to be succeeded by someone of a Kroos or Modric ilk.
Fred just doesn’t seem a fit. More Herrera than Carrick, frenetic in his approach. I think we need a Carrick 2.0. Kroos is this.
I’m not writing off Fred, but I’d be stoked if he was to replace Herrera and we bought in a deep lying passer/playmaker.
