Gareth Bale came to Real Madrid from Tottenham Hotspur just a few months over a year ago, and it has been a successful run that has included a Champions League title. With the January transfer window approaching and the rumors swirling, there are rumblings that Manchester United could be making a run at him in an effort to bring him back to the Premier League.
Before Man United fans start getting too excited, Spanish football expert Graham Hunter is ready to squash that gossip.
“You cannot stop Manchester United aspiring to sign Gareth Bale,” Hunter told Revista de la Liga, via Sky Sports.
“They (Man Utd) have the budget, they tried to sign him, he turned them down when joining Real Madrid. It will not happen unless he goes to Real Madrid and says: ‘Me and my family are not happy here.’
“But that is not the case at the moment, so I think for (now) United can forget it. In the future, maybe, but stories are just stories at the moment.
“There is more to come from him. He is not playing as a complete team footballer at the moment – with all his duties – as he was last season, but he keeps winning them games.
“And if he does what he did last season and wins them more trophies, then why should he leave?”
