Nevermind Cristiano Ronaldo, is Gareth Bale set to be Manchester United’s new number 7?

The Independent remarkably run with the suggestion that Gareth Bale could be on his way to Manchester United.

While recent reports have linked Manchester United with a move for Marouane Fellaini, this recent suggestion that Gareth Bale could be Old Trafford bound certainly raises the collective eyebrows. It is reported that Tottenham Hotspur are seemingly more receptive to the English Premier League champions, after Real Madrid appear to have been ruled out of the running.

David Moyes has insisted that Wayne Rooney will remain at Manchester United, but Chelsea continue to be keen on the England international. Such a transfer could help finance the possible move for Gareth Bale. United, who won the Community Shield on Sunday, have been left frustrated by missing out on bold targets such as Thiago Alcantara and Cesc Fabregas. A marquee move for Gareth Bale would certainly offer renewed optimism at Manchester United, but a pacy forward is hardly the key spot that needs to be strengthened.

Manchester United are expected to make a joint £30m+ bid to Everton for Leighton Baines and Marouane Fellaini. David Moyes told reporters post-match: “We’re moving forward [to making signings]. Every day you get closer – and so does the [transfer] deadline – but if we have to I am happy to go with what we have. We have a lot of good, young English players.”
