Supposed to be a Cristiano replacement

This could happen eventually. The pursuit of the Welshman has been somewhat of an eternal thing for the Red Devils. Ever since the former Southampton starlet became a world class player with the North London outfit, Manchester United have kept an eye out for him.

After four seasons with Real Madrid, the Welshman seems to be at somewhat of a crossroad at Madrid. He might have won the three Champions League titles with the Whites, but he hasn’t yet established himself as the star player, thanks to the presence of Cristiano Ronaldo.

So, here we are, at a point where one cannot really be sure as to whether the former Tottenham man will ever go on to have that status. Bale might not move right now, but he might eventually go to the Theatre of Dreams. And if he does, it won’t be for anything less than a world record fee.
