Paul Scholes has suggested that Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos would be a "perfect" option for former club Manchester United alongside Paul Pogba.
The Red Devils have slowly managed to get the best out of their world-record signing, utilising him alongside one of Michael Carrick or Ander Herrera in a deep-defensive role.
Scholes, who has been critical of Pogba in the past, believes that Germany international Kroos - with one goal and nine assists in 16 La Liga appearances this term - should be near the top of United's summer wishlist.
"I really like Toni Kroos," he told German magazine Kicker. "When I came to the end of my career, I watched him closely and tried to play like Kroos.
"I was a rather forward-looking midfielder, but Toni is the best in the world, and Kroos would be perfect next to Pogba and Ander Herrera at United."
Kroos joined Madrid from Bayern Munich for a fee of £20m three years ago, with Xabi Alonso heading the opposite way.
