Man United ‘serious’ about Gareth Bale persuit

Mourinho to launch bid for Welsh superstar

Manchester United are serious about their persuit for Real Madrid superstar Gareth Bale, according to Spanish reports.

The Welsh forward is currently in talks about a new deal the Bernabau, and he is reportedly demanding a huge salary of £14million per year from the European champions.

However, according to Sport Real have failed to offer him anything yet.

United however, are reportedly willing to table a bumper deal worth about £17m to lure Bale to Old Trafford next summer.

And the Catalan outlet insist Jonathan Barnett, the player’s agent, hasn’t created the story to try and get a better contract for his client.

They say Real simply won’t have enough money to keep the former Tottenham star.
