Bayern Munich coach Pep Guardiola has declared he wants to keep Toni Kroos.
The Germany midfielder is a top target for Manchester United as he enters the final year of his current deal.
"I want Kroos to stay," declared Guardiola.
The Spanish coach has held talks with Kroos, telling him he wants the midfielder to stay and feels he can help him to develop into a player similar to Xavi or Andres Iniesta, says BILD.
Guardiola insists if Kroos was to leave for United, he would only be going for the money.
