Bale linked with a Move to Manchester United

According to Sunday Express, Manchester United have been given permission to launch a summer bid for Real Madrid's Gareth Bale.

As posted on Sunday express website,  the Wales international has been made aware of the Old Trafford interest and their commitment to smashing their club transfer record for the £80 million valued forward.

Its believed that the Glazers want to go down the Galacticos route to increase United’s value with an eventual asking price of £3 billion if they eventually decide to sell the club.


Old Trafford boss Louis Van Gaal is a big fan of the Welshman and would be happy to break the United buying record he set with the capture of another Real Madrid player, Angel Di Maria for £59.7 million.

According to Daily Star, United are preparing moves for Benfica's midfield duo Enzo Perez and Nicolas Gaitan. Louis van Gaal also wants Roma midfielder Kevin Strootman and could spend £80m on the trio.
