Spurs travel to United in the Premier League having not won away to the Red Devils since December 1989, when Gary Lineker was on target with the only goal of the game.
But despite the statistics, Croatia midfielder Modric is confident of a good result from the trip north, insisting Harry Redknapp's men have drawn confidence from their recent UEFA Champions League display against Inter Milan at the San Siro, where they produced a remarkable second-half fight-back before narrowly losing 4-3.
"We're ready, why not?" Modric told Tottenham's official website.
"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.
"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?
"It's the best stage to play, the best stadium and it will be a great game for us. I hope we can do something there."
Man. Utd 8/13, Draw 11/4, Tottenham 5/1
