Manchester United have been rocked by Luka Modric's decision to sign a new six-year deal with Tottenham.

The Sun says the Croat will bank a 'double your money' £50,000 a week as Harry Redknapp's boys prepare for a Champions League debut.

United boss Sir Alex Ferguson had been desperate to lure the 24-year-old ace to Old Trafford, seeing Modric as the scheming talent he needs.

But the midfielder has decided to stay put and reckons he has just as good a chance of silverware at White Hart Lane.
