Manchester United have made progress in their pursuit of Toni Kroos and are confident that a deal will be reached, according to sources.
After two months of negotiations, the United hierarchy is now confident the principles of an agreement are in place for the 24-year-old to become the first of potentially six high-profile signings.
Kroos is set to enter the final season of his contract at Bayern Munich and are far apart on terms on a new deal.
