SHIP HAS SAILED FOR BALE AT MAN UTD
Sky Sports News’ North West reporter James Cooper…
“Manchester United have been big admirers of Gareth Bale in the past. Sir Alex Ferguson and various others viewed him as an option they would like to bring to Old Trafford. But as far as Manchester United are concerned, that ship has very much sailed.
“The time of Old Trafford ‘Galacticos’ is over and they are looking for a younger breed of players they can develop and sell on in the future. The idea of getting Gareth Bale and the money it would cost them isn’t attractive.
“They have already had the absolute disaster of Alexis Sanchez, they are not going to do something similar with Bale. It’s a bit of a shame because there is an argument for him coming in for a season perhaps if they couldn’t get Jadon Sancho, but at this moment it’s not a furrow they want to plough.
“Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is his own man and wants to create his own side, bringing in someone titanic like Bale could threaten the dynamic of a squad that already has some big egos.”
