We track all the latest transfer news, done deals and rumours as Manchester United consider whether or not to enter a battle with Tottenham to sign Real Madrid’s Gareth Bale.

Tottenham are exploring a loan deal but United are in a better position to meet Bale’s significant wage demands of £600,000 per week, which he currently receives from Real Madrid. 

United have lost the race with Spurs for left-back Sergio Reguilon, and while they continue to hunt Jadon Sancho from Borussia Dortmund, the reality is Sancho may be out of their price range.

That means Bale could became a possibility, although even United would need Real Madrid to contribute a significant portion of wages.

FORMER UNITED STRIKER POINTS TO CENTRE-BACK PROBLEM

Ex-United striker Andy Cole has suggested his former club may have a problem with regards to strengthening their defence.

The Red Devils have been linked with several centre-backs throughout the summer as they look to find an adequate partner for Harry Maguire.

But there are still defenders in the squad - like Chris Smalling and Phil Jones - who have not yet been offloaded.

“Manchester United are a team that look to add players in every season," Cole told the Daily Star.

“We keep talking about a centre-back, but United have so many centre-backs at the moment I’m not sure how many more than can actually buy.

“Especially nowadays, centre-backs seem to be more expensive than centre-forwards so it’s a challenge to strengthen any more there. It’ll be interesting to see what they do there.

“Jadon Sancho, if that deal comes off, it would be a coup, but if that deal doesn’t come off then I’ve got no doubts they’ll have their eye on whoever else they feel could make their team stronger.”

UNITED STANCE ON BALE & REGUILON

Manchester United are not expected to move for Gareth Bale as the Real Madrid man edges closer to a Spurs return.

That is according to the MEN, who claim United had no intention of buying the Welshman but considered a potential loan.

Tottenham are also set to sign Real Madrid left-back Sergio Reguilon, another player linked with a switch to Old Trafford.

But the 23-year-old was reportedly never a priority, and United are happy with their options in the position.
