Real Madrid’s Gareth Bale 7/1 to join Manchester United this month

Competition: Premier League
Market: Gareth Bale to join Man Utd
Odds: 7/1 @ Betfair

Real Madrid forward Gareth Bale has been linked with a move away from the Santiago Bernabeu all season, and such rumours have been fuelled with Manchester United manager Louis Van Gaal admitting the Welsh international is among his list of wanted stars.

Bale, 25, joined Real Madrid from Tottenham Hotspur for a world record £85M in the summer of 2013, and enjoyed a dream debut campaign – scoring in the Copa Del Rey and Champions League final en route to the double.

But this season has seen him looking human at times, with supporters getting on his back for a perceived greediness when in possession. Even teammate Cristiano Ronaldo admitted it was an issue in previous games, but he would still be a difficult player for United to acquired given the money involved.

Real won’t sell for less than his asking price, while also wanted some extra return for the wages spent on him, that could well see Bale as the first £100M striker. Betfair are giving odds of 7/2 for the Welshman to make the move to Manchester United this month, but such a deal is yet to materalise.
