Toni Kroos: "I belong to Bayern Munich"

Manchester United transfer target Toni Kroos has declared that he "belongs" to Bayern Munich after the clubs played out a 1-1 draw in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final.

The 24-year-old's deal with the German champions expires in the summer of 2015 and talks regarding a new contract have allegedly stalled, leading to speculation that he could be on his way out of Munich.

Kroos refuted such claims, however, telling Munich's TZ newspaper: "I belong to Bayern Munich.

"[Old Trafford] is a beautiful stadium, but I belong to Bayern Munich and that's good."

Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has also insisted that the German international will remain with the club beyond the summer.
