Bait? Ferguson is preparing a £20m bid for Tottenham star Luka Modric (centre)

Ferguson is planning a summer swoop for Tottenham striker

 Luka Modric, and Berbatov, who spent two seasons at 

White Hart Lane, could be used as part of the deal.

Explaining his decision to axe the Bulgarian, Ferguson said: 

 'I overloaded the bench with midfielders because I felt that 

was the area that was most important in terms of the way Barcelona play.

'I gambled by selecting only one defender [on the bench] to 

allow me to give me as many options in midfield and the 

wide position with Nani. So it came down to a choice between 

Owen and Berbatov. 

'My view on that was if you're looking for someone to 

nick a goal in the last few minutes of a game, then Owen's 

experience is why I took that decision.'
