You could argue that Gareth Bale has been Manchester United’s ‘biggest’ transfer target over the last few years.
While there have been rumours of interest in Cristiano Ronaldo, substantial reports stated that Manchester United actually had the finances ready for a world record transfer bid for Gareth Bale in summer 2013.
Manchester United have since spent £60m on Angel Di Maria but that seemingly hasn’t sated their desire for the Welsh wizard.
With doubts surfacing about his firm and future, The Manchester Evening News has reported that:
Manchester United have been alerted to Gareth Bale’s potential availability in the summer – but Real Madrid will want David de Gea to be involved in any deal to take the world’s most expensive player to Old Trafford.
And there is the stinger. David de Gea has brought the wow factor back to goalkeeping for Manchester United fans. He’s an immaculate stopper who is already one of the best in the world and would ideally stay for a decade.
But you do feel that it’s just a matter of time before De Gea returns to Spain so why not get a superb bit of compensation in the shape of Bale?
Bale has already proven his top class in The Premier League and perhaps England suits his talents better than Spain.
But you feel that the player is still hungry to succeed at Real Madrid after a stellar first season where he scored 22 in 44 games for his new club.
Let’s see the lad in action: Manchester United fans: pipe dream or imminent reality?
