"I never felt a desire from him to leave, so why lose time and energy on that? No."However, that could change now with Mbappe due to arrive. https://twitter.com/ManUtdGoaIs/status/889613662998204416 Bale experienced an injury-hit season last year, but it could be argued Madrid looked better without the 28-year-old in the side. Zinedine Zidane's side won the Spanish title and the Champions League, and did so without Bale for most of the season. The former Tottenham Hotspur forward is already in competition with Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, Marco Asensio and Isco for a starting spot, and could realise his time at the Bernabeu is over if and when Mbappe's transfer goes through. https://twitter.com/SportsJOE_UK/status/890139618749952000 United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward is known to be a fan of Bale, and isn't shy about spending big money on marquee signings. So, if Bale does move this summer, it wouldn't be a surprise if he ends up at Old Trafford. The move would arguably also make a lot of sense for Bale, who would become a key player for United, instead of being confined to the shadow of Ronaldo and now possibly Mbappe.
