Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho would welcome a deal for Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos.

The Independent says Kroos is the one Real player the Man United boss would sign above any other.

Fellow midfielder Casemiro and Gareth Bale are other stars he's said to like.

James Rodriguez has been linked with a switch to Manchester but it's claimed Mourinho isn't that keen.

But if Real push hard to sign David de Gea this summer, the Portuguese is likely to push for one of Real's top-drawer stars to be bundled into any deal.
