United have finally launched an audacious bid for Tottenham’s Gareth Bale in a move that’s been expected since the transfer window opened.
According to reports the United board have decided to back new boss David Moyes by signing the PFA Player of the season.
The Mirror notes:
Manchester United are making a massive £60million bid for Gareth Bale.
Premier League champions United want Tottenham star Bale to be the first major signing of new manager David Moyes’ reign.
The move for the Welshman is thought to be one of the reasons why United’s vice chairman Ed Woodward is returning early from their pre-season tour of the Far East and Australia.
Spurs are desperate not to lose Bale, last year’s Footballer of the Year, and have so far resisted United’s approach.
But the Old Trafford giants are keen to put the damaging publicity surrounding the future of Wayne Rooney behind them.
They know that buying Bale – who has been linked with Real Madrid throughout the off-season – would give Moyes, his players and the United supporters a huge boost.
The signing of Gareth Bale would arguably be the biggest United coup since we shocked the football world by convincing Kevin Keegan to part with Andy Cole. It certainly won’t be easy and much may depend on whether the player actively seeks a move away from White Hart Lane, but if a deal can be struck for Bale, then all of a sudden, the loss of Sir Alex and the problems with Wayne Rooney may start to seem less significant.

This another fake news, Rumor, and impossible dream move that will never happen. Man utd can never in their life sign Garet bale for any amount. And we very exhausted for all these fake news of man utd this summer. The worst thing is that we have finally has a pure and a chronic Lair as a man utd coach.
Lair indeed, coaching man utd with an everton mind. Shame
Bale in rooney out why can’t them offer rooney plus 40m to spurs 4 bale whether will tempt them
This is another fake news, Rumor, and impossible dream move (that will never happen). Man utd can never in their life sign Gareth Bale for any amount, as David moyes lack (do not know how to convince players and clubs to sell for them ) negotiation terms. And we man united are very much exhausted for all these fake news of man utd this summer. The worst thing is that we had finally have a pure and a chronic Lair as a man utd coach.
Bring centre bck, left wing nd fabregas 1st b/4 bale bcos league is about 2 start.
Go man utd go and buy the man he wil b gd 4 awa wing and defence
Garet Bale will be a Good signing If Man utd can finaly Buy him, a Good successo for an Ageing Ryan Giggs in Field of play
Can’t see this happening. Would be signing of the decade if we got him but levy won’t sell for 80+ mill. Just media nonsense as they know it’ll sell papers.
Fabregas will snub us, we will go for matic or gundogan and miss out and get fellaini who isn’t who we want but is better than we expect…
Tough start for moyes. Rooney will go by august, and we will struggle. Expect moyes to grab some lesser knowns and move on to playing the season out. Citeh have signed brilliantly. Makes us look poor.
Get rvp in form and hope we do what we did last season while others bed their players in.
Lol…. Manchester schools are doing a good job!!! Pmsl
Jay. Maybe that’s too harsh a comment; weak rumour from a risible non-source either way.
