Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos admits he was “surprised and saddened" by Casemiro 's decision to leave for Manchester United this summer.

Kroos told Universo Valdano: "I was surprised by Casemiro's departure.

"It is true that the rumours started two days before, but here there are always many rumours and many times nothing happens.

"But when he told me I was sad, because I began to remember all the years with him and the things we won together."
