We can end Old Trafford hoodoo – Modric

(29-10-2010) Tottenham’s Croatian star Luka Modric has backed his team to end their 21-year Old Trafford hoodoo this weekend. Spurs play Manchester United on Saturday, having not beaten the Red Devils in their backyard since December 1989, when Gary Lineker netted the only goal of the game. This doesn’t bother Modric, who believes the club have taken enormous confidence in their stirring second-half comeback against Inter Milan in the Champions league recently. "We're ready, why not? We showed against Inter in the second half that we can compete with the best teams in the world and United is certainly one of the best teams in the world,” Modric told the club's official website on Thursday. "But why not go there and try to win? I know Tottenham haven't won at Old Trafford for a long time, so why not now?”
