Recent reports suggest that Manchester United are preparing a swoop for Tottenham midfielder Luka Modric.
Sir Alex Ferguson is reportedly tabling a £25million offer for the Croatian who he believes he can use as a Paul Scholes type in central midfield at Old Trafford.
Ferguson is believed to be out of patience with Michael Carrick who is admired by Spurs boss Harry Redknapp, so who knows, perhaps a potential trade?
