United are said to have a "continuing interest" in Bale, but it is reported that the 28-year-old is one of Real's "prime assets" and he is keen to see out his contract which lasts until 2022.

Ian Rush has told fellow Wales legend Bale to stay at Real Madrid.

"If he's happy then ­Gareth should stay in Spain, 100 per cent. He has improved as a player. He's got great players like Cristiano Ronaldo to keep ­learning from. There are not many better clubs in the world than Real Madrid," Rush is quoted as saying by the Daily Mirror.

"I know that if he decided to come to England he would have the choice of all the top clubs here. Manchester United, ­Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool would all want him. There's always a time and a place to come back but I don't think it should be now. He is still relatively young."
