After capturing the signature of Shinji Kagawa, Manchester United are now focussed on bringing Luka Modric and Leighton Baines to Old Trafford according to Mirror Football.
The Red Devils are motivated to wrangle the Premier League title back from cross-town rivals Manchester City, with a deal to bring the Japanese star to England thought to be the first in a busy summer transfer window.
Modric is thought to be next on the agenda, as United continue their search for a new central midfield playmaker to replace Paul Scholes in the long run.
With Tottenham missing out on the Champions League, the north London club may well be struggling to hold onto their best players, with the Croatia international eager to play in Europe’s top tournament.
Meanwhile, Baines has been earmarked as a potential player to rival Patrice Evra at left-back, and with Everton struggling financially they may have to part with the England defender.
It is believed that Baines will be available for around the £12-£15 million mark, however Modric would cost considerably more as Tottenham look to hang on to their star man.
