Manchester United reportedly believe that if Real Madrid opts not to give some respect to Garth Bale in the Champions League finals by starting him against Juventus, they will go all out to sign him in the summer.
Real are preparing for the Champions League final on Saturday as they take on Juventus at Cardiff Bale’ country and the welsh citizen wants to see their star player perform at the Millennium Stadium come June 3rd.
Although Bale has struggled with injury for much of the season but is healthy with the biggest game of his side’s season on the horizon.
But reports in Spain claim Zinedine Zidane is leaning towards dropping the attacker in favour of Isco.
However reports in Spain claim Bale still believes he will start the game, but United are watching the situation very closely.
Should Bale begin the game on the bench, United will start seriously plotting a summer bid for the Welshman as he has been consistently linked with a shock move back to England and the Red Devil is one of his suitors when he was in Tottenham.
United think Bale may react to the snub by entertaining summer transfer opportunities and want to be the first club in with an offer.
Jose Mourinho has been linked with a host of marquee names including Atletico Madrid star Antoine Griezmann and Bale’s team-mate James Rodriguez.
Bale became a star at Tottenham after signing as a teenager from Southampton before he earned a mega-money switch to La Liga.
Zidane has already been told by Bale that he is fit to start the game after coming through training last week without any issue.
Bale is desperate to start the final which will be hosted by his hometown of Cardiff and it is claimed that he would be ‘betrayed’ if he was to be benched.
Real Madrid look set to defend the Champion League against Juventus.
