Goal.com UK<\/strong> understands that United have made an enquiry for the player in recent weeks and are ready to battle Liverpool and Tottenham for his signature at the end of the season.<\/p>\nWith doubts emerging as to whether Scholes will sign a new contract offered by the club \u2013 an extension to his current deal has been on the table since the turn of the year \u2013 Sir Alex Ferguson is giving strong consideration to making a move for Adam.<\/p>\n
The Scot has been scouted extensively by United this season and fits the bill as a midfielder capable of creating and scoring goals.<\/p>\n
Ferguson commented that Adam\u2019s \u201ccorner-kicks alone are worth \u00a310 million,\u201d after he created both of Blackpool\u2019s goals against United in the Premier League leaders\u2019 3-2 win at Bloomfield Road in January.<\/p>\n
The midfielder was instrumental in Blackpool\u2019s promotion to the Premier League last season and has been hugely impressive in their against-the-odds top flight campaign, scoring 10 goals, including five since he was denied a move to Liverpool in January.<\/p>\n
During the winter transfer window, Liverpool had a \u00a310m bid for Adam rejected and Spurs ran out of time in their deadline-day bid to land the Seasiders\u2019 captain.<\/p>\n
Both clubs are expected to make further moves for the 25-year-old in the summer, when he will have just 12 months remaining on his Blackpool contract.<\/p>\n
Blackpool have valued Adam at \u00a314m, despite paying just \u00a3500,000 to sign him from Rangers in 2009.<\/p>\n
Manager Ian Holloway has accepted that the Scotland international will leave Bloomfield Road in the summer, whether the team escape relegation or not.<\/p>\n
