With Shinji Kagawa already, more-or-less, on the books, red-top insinuations infer that Sir Alex Ferguson is now targeting another midfield ace.
With it being widely accepted that our midfield could do with strengthening, the indications are that Sir Alex is set to test the water with regards to luring Luka Modric to Old Trafford by offering Spurs a sum of £22 million for the player.
Now whether that bid impresses Spurs remains to be seen, after all they were able to resist overtures from Chelsea last summer when the West London club made offers far in excess of that, but with no Champions League football and with the future of Harry Redknapp far from certain, could the ripples United`s bid make be enough to set the ball rolling?

We've already seen Daniel Levy take a stance and could well do so again unless his valuation is met.
Going on past transfers you guys have made from Spurs (and the way they've been conducted) i reckon you'd be looking at a minimum 40 million!
I firmly believe Daniel Levy has had enough of the way SAF does his public courting of Spurs players and therefore will take a further stance and let SAF hang himself by "tapping up in public" a contracted Spurs player.
COYS!!!
You can have 'Arry tho if you like ? Don't worry we don't need any money for him, call it a thankyou for paying £31M for Berbs ;-P
But that gets me back to why I value him at only £45M, coz his attitude on the pitch when being petulant is terrible, at tiles he's barely gone thru the motions. Deliberately not made decisive passes, not ran for easily achievable balls etc. However under a winner such as Fergie, Jose, Pep or Mancini he would RESPECT the Manager & never drop his attitude as he'd be playing for a Man he trusted & knew to be on the same tactical level.
I'm not 1 of the Championship Manager lot neither am I lard arse who's "job" is a professional Rock n Roller (on the Dole). When a KEY player is sold & especially in his prime a Club must be STRONG as any weakness shown reflect VERY badly on the Club, Board, Management & the remaining Squad & any potential signings. That's what I meant when I said "when you take EVERYTHING into consideration".
Personally Utd were robbed as brand CR7 is worth approx £200M+ in shirt sales & images rights over his original contract with Real, not to mention any extensions to that contract. Then there's the success on the field he brings. So £80 odd million is a BARGAIN for a player who could Is looking at returning 5+ times his original cost over his career at Real, eh ? It's all about the big picture.
THAT is the reason for TNV's high valuation.... Surely you should've understood that...
