Robbie Williams has urged Real Madrid superstar Toni Kroos to sign for Manchester United.
The pair enjoy a surprise friendship after Kroos revealed back in 2017 that he enjoyed reading the former Take That star's autobiography.
And pop superstar Williams returned the favour during the 2018 World Cup in Russia, where he performed at the opening ceremony, when he hailed Kroos' stunning free-kick for Germany against Sweden.
Williams recently featured in Kroos' documentary and has pleaded with the 29-year-old midfield maestro, who has long been linked with a move to Old Trafford, to quit Spain for the Premier League giants.
"You've won everything in Madrid, I'm asking you to sign for Manchester United!" the singer, who also supports Port Vale, told Kroos' documentary as quoted by Marca .
"I think we have the best league in the world, the Premier League. That's why one thing annoys me a lot.
" Real Madrid have made me feel small, as if I had a small penis.
"Football is my religion and I don't like that there are gods bigger than mine."
Kroos was strongly linked with a move to United in 2014 but the move was scuppered following David Moyes' sacking.
He previously told lifePR: "I knew before that Manchester wanted me.
"And Moyes underlined that absolutely. It was a really nice afternoon with very nice people. We talked a lot about United's footballing plan which convinced me.
"In the end, we agreed to do it. We agreed verbally. I am not somebody who worries about contingencies. Yes, it was close.
"I almost went to Manchester United. But it did not happen that way."
