Man United could sign Ballon D'Or winner Modric after talks held - pundit
Man United would be one of a number of Premier League clubs in the race to sign Luka Modric next year.
That is the view of former Premier League goalkeeper Paul Robinson, speaking exclusively to Football Insider about the 36-year-old’s future.
Modric has just over six months remaining on his contract with Real Madrid.
According to SuperDeporte (27 November), the La Liga giants are struggling to agree new terms with the centre-midfielder, who is holding out for a two-year deal.
It is said that the Croatia international is open to a return to the Premier League if a new contract isn’t agreed.
However, a return to Tottenham is reportedly not of interest to Modric.
When asked by Football Insider if Manchester United is a potential destination for the 2018 Ballon D’or winner, Robinson said:
“I think any of the top six clubs would be interested in signing Luka Modric, including Man United.
“There will be no shortage of takers for him if he wants to come back to the Premier League.
“Regardless of what system a team plays, Modric would fit it. He can play across a three, in a four or in behind a striker. We all know the immense talent of Modric.”
Manchester United have been widely criticised for not recruiting a centre-midfielder last summer.
Interim manager Ralf Rangnick currently has Scott McTominay, Fred, Nemanja Matic, Paul Pogba and Donny van de Beek at his disposal.
