United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is a big admirer of the Croatian playmaker who many observers see as the natural replacement at the club for the retired Paul Scholes. Manchester United are reportedly locked in informal talks with Tottenham Hotspur over the sale of star midfielder Luka Modric.
According to the Sun, the Scot has already spoken to Spurs boss Harry Redknapp about signing the 25-year-old Modric.
A White Hart Lane source told the newspaper: "The word is that Sir Alex has already spoken directly to Harry and said how much he admires Modric and how much he wants him.
"And as much as Harry wants to keep him he knows United can make an offer we just can't refuse.
"So Harry's busy now trying to do the Joe Cole deal to bring in a new playmaker to compensate for the expected departure of Luka."
The report claims it will cost United in excess of £20million to sign Modric.
