Manchester United are readying a £25million bid for Tottenham Hotspur's Croatian midfielder Luka Modric.
The Sun reported that the Red Devils have set their sights on the stylish playmaker who has had an outstanding season for Spurs.
Sir Alex Ferguson apparently sees Modric as a young version of Paul Scholes and wants to use him as the focal point of United's attack next season.
Fergie dropped a big hint before United's game last weekend against Spurs when he mentioned in his pre-match programme notes that he sees Modric as the danger-man for the visitors.
He said: "And I give you another wee man who'll be at Old Trafford this afternoon: Luka Modric, who is playing out of his skin at the moment."
Modric joined the Lilywhites back in 2008 from Dinamo Zagreb for £16.5m but his introduction to English football was not as smooth as expected with then Spurs coach Juande Ramos fielding him as a holding midfielder.
He was also constantly troubled by various injuries and it got worse for him when he suffered a broken leg last August which ruled him out for three months.
When he finally made his return to first-team football in December, he seemed to have found a second wind and has been a key factor in Tottenham's push for a Champions League spot.
If a bid for Modric does come true, Michael Carrick might be thrown into the equation to tempt Harry Redknapp who is a known admirer of the England midfielder since his West Ham days.
