GARETH BALE SET TO JOIN MANCHESTER UNITED
Manchester United are ready to resume their long-standing pursuit of Real Madrid forward, Gareth Bale.
Bale has been coveted by United for years, with the club first trying to sign the Welsh winger in 2007 before he joined Spurs. The Red Devils also failed with a £103million bid to hijack his move to Madrid four years ago.
But Jose Mourinho will try again for the 28-year-old, after Zinedine Zidane admitted the player could leave the Santiago Bernabeu this summer.
The European champions are hoping to sign Kylian Mbappe from Monaco in a potential £161 million world record deal and need to raise money to fund the stunning deal.
QUESTION TO MANCHESTER UNITED FANS: DO YOU WANT GARETH BALE?
CHOOSE ONE WINGER BETWEEN IVAN PERISIC OR GARETH BALE?

BAYERN MUNICH CHIEF CONFIRMS ANTONIO CONTE’S INTEREST IN RENATOR SANCHES
Chelsea are interested in signing Renato Sanches from Bayern Munich, the German club’s CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has confirmed.
Reports on Friday suggested that the Blues had entered the race to secure Sanches, who had appeared set to move to Milan.
Chelsea have already spent upwards of £100 million this summer, securing Alvaro Morata from Real Madrid, Tiemoue Bakayoko from Monaco and Antonio Rudiger from AS Roma, while they have also signed goalkeeper Willy Caballero on a free transfer from Manchester City.
And Rummenigge has confirmed that Antonio Conte, the Blues manager, inquired after Sanches’ situation following his side’s 3-2 pre-season friendly defeat to Bayern earlier this week.
