According to the London Evening Standard newspaper, Manchester United would have lost interest in the signing of Gareth Bale. According to the newspaper, the reasons for the decision were discussed at a meeting held between Ed Woodward, the club’s executive director, and Solskjaer, in which the Norwegian coach made clear his preference for young English promises, with special prominence for the quarry of United.

Bale does not count for Zidane and Real Madrid looks for a buyer for the Welshman who has not appeared for now.
