And Spanish transfer outlet Don Balon now say the Wales international has an unwritten agreement to join United.

They reckon Bale wants one more season at the Bernabeu and if his injuries return or Real buy a new Galactico like Kylian Mbappe, he will move to the Red Devils.

Don Balon say Bale would cost United around £89m (€100m) next summer.

Anthony Martial is open to a loan move to Inter Milan.

The United star struggled to get game time under Jose Mourinho last season, starting 18 Premier League clashes.

And according to Italian outlet Gianluca Di Marzio, positive talks have been held about Martial heading to Serie A.

They say Inter have been told Martial, 21, is open to joining the Italian giants this summer on loan.

Martial could be included in a swap deal to finally bring Inter winger Ivan Perisic to United.
