The Gareth Bale to Manchester United rumours are again gaining momentum after the Red Devils suffered a setback in their attempt to sign Jadon Sancho from Borussia Dortmund. With it looking increasingly likely that Sancho will stay in the Bundesliga for 2020/21, United have now started to look at other targets, and Bale 31, is one of them.

Bale has himself said in the past that he is open to interest from other Premier League clubs and will leave Real Madrid if the right offer does come in.

Would a loan deal be possible? Potentially a stop gap arrangement for this season till United re-ignite their interest in Sancho next year?
