Wrong mindset sees Modric ruled out
Harry Redknapp is not satisfied with Luka Modric's mindset and has ruled him out of Tottenham's Premier League clash with Manchester United.
The Croatia midfielder has been strongly linked with a move to Chelsea and has publicly criticised Tottenham's chairman, Daniel Levy, for breaking a verbal agreement that was in place to allow him to move from White Hart Lane should a bigger club seek his signature.
Redknapp believes Chelsea's imminent signing of Juan Mata is likely to put an end to their interest in Modric, but despite this, the Spurs boss insists that the 25-year-old will not feature at Old Trafford on Monday.
After a quiet close-season in the transfer market, Redknapp confirmed his side are set to bring in two players before the close of the window, with Real Madrid midfielder Lassana Diarra and Manchester City striker Emmanuel Adebayor expected to join the north London outfit.
