EVRA: SIR ALEX WENT FOR BALE, RONALDO
06/05/20
Sir Alex Ferguson was plotting a double swoop for Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale shortly before his retirement in 2013, according to former Manchester United defender Patrice Evra.
Speaking to the UTD podcast, Evra recalled a conversation he had with Ferguson: "He said: 'My target is I'm 99 per cent sure we will have Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale. I just need these two players to win the Champions League again. Ninety-nine per cent'.
"And to be fair, when I speak with Cristiano, I ask him and he said yes to the boss, and was coming to join United. He told me this."

This doesn't surprise me and the benefits (had it happened) are clear; those two were instrumental in a succession of Champions League wins for Real Madrid not so long after that!
