Man Utd transfer news: Gareth Bale told to leave Real Madrid for United NOW
GARETH BALE should leave Real Madrid for Manchester United if the Red Devils make a bid for the Wales star.
That is the opinion of ESPN FC pundit and former Arsenal midfielder Stewart Robson.
Bale’s future at Real Madrid looks in doubt after he confirmed he was not happy at his lack of game time at the Bernabeu.
Those comments came after the Champions League final win over Liverpool on Saturday, where Bale scored twice off the substitutes bench.
Express Sport understands Manchester United are leading the way for Bale’s signature ahead of Premier League rivals Chelsea.
