Manchester United are ready to offer Dimitar Berbatov to Tottenham as part of their bid for Luka Modric. The Daily Star says Sir Alex Ferguson is a huge admirer of Modric and has made the Tottenham star one of his main summer transfer targets.
Spurs are playing hardball over their prize asset after rejecting a £22m bid from Chelsea earlier this week as boss Harry Redknapp battles to keep him at White Hart Lane.
But this won't deter Ferguson, who could now tempt Spurs with an offer of around £18m in cash plus Bulgarian star Berbatov in the hope of striking a deal.
