Real Madrid legend Toni Kroos almost moved to Manchester United in 2014 instead - until former Bayern Munich coach Louis van Gaal's hire
Briefly

"In 2014, before I signed with Real Madrid, I had already agreed to play with Manchester United. That would have been a move from Bayern to United. But then they kicked out David Moyes, who I was sitting on my couch with in Munich, and hired Louis van Gaal. Then we both politely declined."
"Instead, I landed with a splash in Madrid at 24 years of age, and there I went on to win a remarkable six Champions League trophies in a glittering career."
