PAUL SCHOLES BELIEVES Man United signing 24-year-old Germany star Toni Kroos would solve their current midfield dilemmas.
In his latest Paddy Power column, the Old Trafford legend writes: “I love watching Toni Kroos. I think he’s brilliant. I love the way he controls the ball and controls games. He can really play a pass and has superb vision.
“Kroos is capable of scoring goals too, from outside the box on either foot. I just wish Man United had signed him (yes, it is good to see United bringing in new players, but they haven’t signed anything like the quality of Kroos).”
The Bayern Munich star has been heavily linked with the Red Devils in the past, while more recent reports suggest he is set to sign for Real Madrid.
However, for all Kroos’ brilliance, Scholes thinks Germany’s defence could ultimately let them down in their bid to win the World Cup.
“Joachim Low’s strategy of using four centre-backs has managed to keep to clean sheets in the group games for Germany. However there are weaknesses in his team.
“He must be doing something right with more than 100 caps but Per Mertesaker is slow and cumbersome while at left-back the Schalke centre-half, Benedikt Howedes, looks a little vulnerable. Mats Hummels is not the quickest either.”
