Toni Kroos, one of the most important figures in world football and a pillar in the history of Real Madrid, was very close to never having worn the white jersey. In 2014, while still a player at Bayern Munich, Kroos had a crucial decision in his hands that could have completely altered his trajectory: to sign for Manchester United.

The German midfielder had reached an agreement with the 'Red Devils', as revealed by Kroos himself. According to 'Marca', everything was practically set for the midfielder to move from the Bundesliga to the Premier League. However, an unexpected twist in the coaching staff of the English club changed the plans. David Moyes, who had played a key role in the negotiations with Bayern, was fired from his position as manager of Manchester United, and Louis van Gaal took over.

Van Gaal triggered Kroos' exit from Bayern

The arrival of the Dutch coach at the English club was the turning point that led both Kroos and Manchester United to abandon the negotiations. The relationship between Van Gaal and Kroos, who had crossed paths at Bayern Munich, was not the best, both personally and professionally. This raised doubts in the German about continuing with the plan to go to Old Trafford.

Fate intervened differently, and it was Carlo Ancelotti, then coach of Real Madrid, who seized the opportunity to convince Kroos to move to the Spanish capital. In the midst of the 2014 World Cup, Ancelotti contacted Kroos, and thus began one of the most glorious periods for the German in football.

Kroos arrived at Real Madrid for 25 million euros, and since then has accumulated an impressive list of achievements including five Champions League titles, establishing himself as one of the most emblematic players of the club.
