United want Kroos in any De Gea deal

Manchester United will only allow David De Gea to join Real Madrid if they get Toni Kroos in return

Jose Mourinho has launched a Kroos missile at Real Madrid.

The Spanish giants have angered Manchester United by reigniting their interest in David De Gea, just weeks after they had stated publicly that they no longer wanted to sign the Reds’ goalkeeper.

United have retaliated by demanding that German midfielder Toni Kroos should be included in any proposed deal to take De Gea to Madrid.

Mourinho is a big fan of the stylish German, believing the 27-year-old would dovetail neatly with £89million record buy Paul Pogba.

Madrid would be reluctant to part with Kroos, just as United are in no rush to release De Gea.
