Manchester United supremo Ed Woodward will stay in Germany overnight in a bid to thrash out a deal for Bayern Munich star Toni Kroos.

Woodward wants straight answers from the midfielder, who helped Bayern knock United out of the Champions League quarter-finals on Wednesday.

Kroos is David Moyes’ top target and would take up the biggest slice of the Reds' summer transfer budget.

ANALYSIS: Eight things every Manchester United fan needs to know about Toni Kroos

The Old Trafford executive vice-chairman is keen to know if Kroos is as committed to the potential move as reports from earlier this week suggest.

United do not intend to be used in any attempt by the Kroos camp to squeeze a bumper pay-rise out of Bayern.

Woodward will try to convince the European Cup holders that United’s £40million offer - a blockbusting bid first revealed by MirrorSport last week - is enough.

He knows that United face a whirlwind amount of buying and selling in the coming months, but Kroos is key to that strategy.

If he joins, other players can be sold. If he is not landed, United will have to look elsewhere.
