Louis van Gaal has decided to stop Manchester United's pursuit of a transfer for Toni Kroos.

Kroos had been previously pursued by David Moyes as a solution to United's central midfield.

Van Gaal is aware of Kroos' abilities during his own time at Bayern Munich. Kroos can play the No. 10 role or as a box-to-box midfielder.

Kroos is out of contract with Bayern at the end of the 14-15 season.
