David Moyes is prepared to reprise Manchester United's interest in Real Madrid's Luka Modric if they miss out on Cesc Fabregas and Marouane Fellaini.

Manchester United are reportedly ready to make a second attempt to sign Luka Modric if they fail to recruit their primary midfield targets.

The Red Devils have seen two bid rejected for Barcelona playmaker Cesc Fabregas, but have submitted a third offer for the Spaniard that the Catalan giants are believed to be considering.

Should Barca refuse to part with the former Arsenal captain, new United manager David Moyes was planning on pursuing Everton midfielder Marouane Fellaini, whom he worked with during his time at Goodison Park.

However, The Times reports that a £25m approach for Real Madrid midfielder Modric, whom United tried to sign from Tottenham Hotspur before he moved to La Liga, is United's back-up option should neither of their preferred targets sign on at Old Trafford.

Modric, 27, scored four goals in 46 Madrid appearances in all competitions last season.
