Real Madrid star Gareth Bale fires Manchester United warning amid Chelsea interest
REAL MADRID star Gareth Bale has reportedly warned Manchester United he cannot wait forever for them to make him an offer after Chelsea entered the race to sign him.
According to transfer rumour specialists Don Balon, Bale's priority has always been to join United if he returns to England.
But he's supposedly told them to make a proposal sooner rather than later as the transfer window approaches.
Bale's warning is said to have involved making it know that Chelsea have shown renewed interest in getting him on-board.
Roman Abramovich is apparently set to appoint Luis Enrique as Antonio Conte's successor this summer.

Gareth Bale wants to join Manchester United when he leaves Real Madrid this summer
And Bale appears to have been identified as a target that can help the Blues compete with United and Manchester City.
Don Balon indicate Real will not stand in Bale's way after accepting he is not the man to replace Cristiano Ronaldo.
And it remains to be seen whether United will act on his desire to swap the Bernabeu for Old Trafford.
Don Balon indicate Bale's agent, Jonathan Barnett, could negotiate a return to Tottenham if a move to United or Chelsea does not happen.
