The Red Devils have been repeatedly linked with a move for the Welshman in recent weeks, and several reports have suggested they are preparing to make a bid for the former Tottenham star.

According to reports, Louis van Gaal is a big admirer of Bale, and is willing to offer the 25-year-old a staggering £300,000-a-week to lure him to Old Trafford.

Sources in Spain have claimed that Los Blancos boss Carlo Ancelotti is unwilling to sell the former Southampton ace, and has insisted that he is a vital part of the team.

But fresh reports have suggested the former Chelsea boss has changed his tune and is willing to cash in on Bale.

Those reports claim that Ancelotti no longer considers the Welshman a first-team player, and will stick with Isco when Bale returns from injury.

The news of Real's willingness to sell Bale will be a massive boost to United and Van Gaal.

But the Red Devils will reportedly have to stump up £90m to snap up the Welsh wizard, who they tried to sign before he completed his world record move to the Bernabeu in 2013.
