Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson will begin a summer of significant rebuilding at Old Trafford with a £20million bid for Tottenham midfielder Luka Modric.
Nevertheless, Ferguson is already planning for the future and is poised to open negotiations with Tottenham for Modric, a player he has admired for a long time.
With the Scot to stay as long as three more years, he knows that he must add to his squad if he is to close the gap on Europe’s No 1 team Barcelona.
Meanwhile NEWCASTLE are in the hunt to sign Dimitar Berbatov.
The Bulgarian striker wants out of Manchester United after his shock Champions League final snub.
Now he wants a club where he is regarded as the main man and not down the pecking order.
Berbatov, who cost United £30.75m in September 2008, has always liked Newcastle having idolised Toon legend Alan Shearer when he was a boy.
And Toon boss Alan Pardew is ready to meet United's £7.5million valuation.
Tfor joint Golden Boot winner did not travel home with United after his Champions League final axing. He did, however, turn up for the club's victory parade through Manchester yesterday to celebrate their 19th league title.
