Man United could sign Gareth Bale next summer, claims ex-midfielder
Jermaine Jenas believes Manchester United could sign Real Madrid winger Gareth Bale next summer
Jermaine Jenas has suggested Manchester United could sign Real Madrid star Gareth Bale next summer.
The Wales international has been regularly linked with a move to Old Trafford in the past 24 months or so.
Indeed, the Red Devils were thought to be weighing up a move to sign Bale in the summer but a deal failed to materialise.
Bale has only made five La Liga appearances in the current campaign due to persistent injury problems.
The Welsh talisman has won three Champions League titles, La Liga and Copa del Rey during his time at Real Madrid.
Former Spurs midfielder Jenas believes Manchester United could sign Bale at the end of the 2017-18 season.
“Let’s see who they sign in the summer,” Jenas told BBC Radio 5 Live.
“I am pretty sure they are going to go big. It could be Bale.”
Bale was named the 2013 PFA player of the year before his big-money switch to Real Madrid in a then world-record deal.
The Wales forward has also been linked with a potential return to Tottenham Hotspur.
Manchester United spent in excess of £150m in the summer transfer window following deals for Victor Lindelof, Romelu Lukaku and Nemanja Matic.
The Red Devils finished in sixth place in the Premier League table last season but won the EFL Cup and the Europa League.
