Gareth Bale's recent form has caused him to become a transfer target for Europe's biggest clubs

The Welsh winger-cum-striker has been linked with a sensational £70m switch to Spanish outfit Real Madrid after blistering run of form, but ex-England international Sharpe would like him at Old Trafford.



The 41-year-old played for the Red Devils between 1988 and 1996, and thinks Bale would fit in perfectly at the Premier League leaders.



When asked by Manchester United's official TV channel MUTV who he would like to sign for the club most, Sharpe swiftly answered: "Gareth Bale."
