Tottenham midfielder Luka Modric has hinted he turned down Manchester United to sign a new deal.

Modric inked a six-year Tottenham contract yesterday.

Modric confirmed that he had been courted by other clubs, but insisted his future always lay in north London.

"Tottenham gave me my chance in the Premier League and I want to go on to achieve great success here with them," he said.

"Yes, there have been enquiries from other big clubs, but I have no interest in going anywhere.

"Last season's top-four finish was an indication of where we are as a club. I feel I can achieve everything I want at Spurs."
