Gareth Bale is one of the finest players in world football and has frequently made it clear that he wants to stay at the Bernabeu for the upcoming season. This has not stopped Ed Woodward from attempting to bring the Welsh International to Old Trafford and the transfer would be ground-breaking. A frontline of Bale, Memphis Depay and Wayne Rooney would compete with the finest attacking line-ups in Europe and would not only make Manchester United Premier League favourites again but also rocket them into serious Champions League contenders. The 26-year-old scored 15 goals last season and made nine assists during 31 games for Real Madrid.
