Paul Scholes urges Manchester United to target Toni Kroos

Paul Scholes believes that Toni Kroos could be the missing piece for Manchester United, describing him as the "best in the world" in his deep-lying position.

Paul Scholes has suggested that Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos would be a "perfect" option for former club Manchester United alongside Paul Pogba.

The Red Devils have slowly managed to get the best out of their world-record signing, utilising him alongside one of Michael Carrick or Ander Herrera in a deep-defensive role.

Scholes, who has been critical of Pogba in the past, believes that Germany international Kroos - with one goal and nine assists in 16 La Liga appearances this term - should be near the top of United's summer wishlist.

"I really like Toni Kroos," he told German magazine Kicker. "When I came to the end of my career, I watched him closely and tried to play like Kroos.

"I was a rather forward-looking midfielder, but Toni is the best in the world, and Kroos would be perfect next to Pogba and Ander Herrera at United."

Kroos joined Madrid from Bayern Munich for a fee of £20m three years ago, with Xabi Alonso heading the opposite way.
