I HEAR from sources that Man United want Gareth Bale - and that Gareth is interested in a move to Old Trafford.
Fergie plans to sell Rooney for £25MILLION to raise half the money for Bale. He knows that Tottenham supremo Daniel Levy is the hardest of negotiators and that he will not contemplate letting Gareth go for less than £50million.
The final deal - if it comes off - could see United handing over £50Million cash plus a player valued at £10MILLION! Such is the value of Bale now.
Gareth would not be against a move to Manchester. His girlfriend Emma Rhys-Jones and their first baby, little Alba Violet live in Cardiff and a move to Manchester could see them all living there.
The speculation over a move to United would also give a reason for Gareth turning up at Old Trafford for the Real Madrid match the other night. Most people thought he was there to see Ronaldo and Real as they were his most likely next employers - but I am told he was actually there to see his real hero, Ryan Giggs, and see the United set-up for himself.
