In case you didn’t know
With Zinedine Zidane having already insisted that Gareth Bale has no future under his management, the Wales international has been linked with the Red Devils for a while now.
Speaking to the press following a hefty 2-0 defeat at the hands of Real Betis in La Liga 2018-19, Zidane said,
Last season, Bale appeared 42 times in Real Madrid outfit in all competitions, racking up 14 goals and five assists for Los Blancos. With three goals to his name, Bale was awarded the best player award of FIFA Club World Cup 2018.
The heart of the matter
Manchester United superstar midfielder Paul Pogba has been on the radar of Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane for a while now. As per reports surrounding the clubs, Real Madrid wanted to add Gareth Bale to complete Pogba’s deal with ease. But, on the other hand, it was Ed Woodward’s refusal to enter into negotiations for Bale that could sink the chances of landing Pogba at Santiago Bernabeu.
According to reports, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wants to build a team around Pogba. Juventus are the club that want to bring the French World Cup winner back to Italy, though it is expected that Pogba will remain at Old Trafford for the next season.
What is next?
Manchester United have already begun to recruit players. They have made their first signing in the form of Daniel James. They are looking add more as their squad needs a major overhaul this summer.
