Manchester United are targeting £34m rated Madrid forward

Report says Manchester United are targeting Real Madrid £34m rated forward Gareth Bale. The winger has been struggling at the Santiago Bernabeau since the beginning of the season and has failed to make huge impact since joining Real Madrid from Tottenham Hotspur.

The Welshman is valued at £68m, but now has a slashed value of £34m following his frozen performance under coach Zinedine Zidane.

A move to United might bring the attacker to limelight again having played in the English Premier League years ago with Tottenham.

United are also looking forward to strengthen their current team with the possibility of Pogba and Matic leaving in January.
