United aren’t finished there though, with Real Madrid ace Gareth Bale also on their radar. Executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward has already seen two bids of around £100 million for the 26-year-old rejected this summer.
However, the Red Devils still hold out of hope of getting their man. The Welshman’s unpopularity with the Bernabeu faithful could be a turning point, with the fans regularly booing him last season. This was despite him scoring 13 goals and assisting another nine in 31 La Liga games during the campaign.
