The current uncertain situation at Tottenham Hotspur suggests that ground is rife for a big money bid for Luka Modric. The Croatian playmaker will be perfect for Manchester United’s midfield problems if Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson can
see logic in signing him from Tottenham Hotspur...
Manchester United’s previous English Premier League campaign left a lot to be desired. The Red Devils finished the Premier League season without a single piece of silverware if you discount the Community Shield win over Manchester
City. Sir Alex Ferguson’s men relied on youth at the start of the campaign but once Welbeck got injured and Cleverley succumbed to his fitness issues, United were left wanting.
The situation threatened to derail their title chances and thus http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Paul-Scholes-c29394 was convinced to make a comeback to club football after the Englishman had already called time on his football career after the 2011 UEFA Champions League
final. Scholes did improve the Manchester United midfield but in his late 30s, the former England national team playmaker is hardly the long term answer to United’s midfield woes.
Some say that Cleverley and Anderson are the future of the biggest club in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Anderson-c5565’s form has deteriorated and he has failed to live up to his tag
of being the new Ronaldinho whereas Cleverley has had his fair share of trouble whilst recovering from ankle problems.
Sir Alex Ferguson recently captured the signature of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Shinji-Kagawa-c33364 from Borussia Dortmund but Kagawa alone is not the answer to United’s creative disabilities. The Japanese midfielder plays more often than not as an offensive midfielder
rather than a central one and this is where http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Luka-Modric-c22857 comes in for the Red Devils. Modric has already shown with Tottenham that he is more than capable of performing on a weekly basis in the Premier League. Luka was one of the bright spots in Croatia’s otherwise
disappointing EURO 2012 campaign as well.
Playing in a two man-central midfield with Scholes or Carrick, Modric has the capacity to propel United forwards. With the current mess at Tottenham after Harry Redknapp’s departure from White Hart Lane and the lack of UEFA Champions
League football at the North London club, Modric is a suitable target for Manchester United.
However Spurs are known to fish for big prices on their stars and Modric won’t be an exception to such a trend. In fact http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Daniel-c9879 Levy, the Tottenham chairman will want Manchester United to pay around about 30-35 million pounds for
the Croatian playmaker. Such a price tag seems inflated on the face of it but United can perhaps negotiate and bring it down to around about 25 million if they throw Anderson into the equation to cut their own losses as well.
Modric will definitely be a breath of fresh air at Old Trafford, United need a midfielder who can play more than 50 matches a season and control the tempo of the match. The Red Devils exited the UEFA Champions League in the group
stages last season and an arrival of such a star can solve that problem and take them forwards. Sir Alex hinted after United’s defeat to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 in the 2011 UEFA Champions League final that his main aim was now to close the gap of quality between the two
outfits; signing Modric will definitely be the right move towards that target.
