Ed002 I'm sure I've seen you post that Modric may be available in the summer? With Real being interested in Arturo Vidal and being far more likely to sign him the we are, do you think United may look at Modric this summer?

{Ed002's Note - I suspect not unless the new manager is a particular fan.}

Excuse my French but f*** going for Modric because Real Madrid are going for Vidal. We are United we shouldn't be lowering ourself to getting cast offs because Real are going for another player. We should be going for Vidal and go head to head with any club for his signature. We are Manchester United who shouldn't go for cast offs and go for the best.

Don't get me wrong Vidal is the exact player we need in midfield. Him along with a playmaker such as Modric or Kroos would be my ideal central midfield pairing. However, being realistic we have a very small chance of signing Vidal and Real do have an interest in him. If given a choice between Real Madrid or United at this point, a player with no emotional connection to either team is more than likely going to go to Real Madrid.

Also Modric is top drawer so if Real Madrid do want to cast him off and United were to go for him I'd be delighted. He's twice the player of any of our current midfielders, has PL experience and actually passes the ball forward which is something we need.
