Manchester United's swoop for Memphis Depay hasn't affected plans to bring Real Madrid star Gareth Bale back to the Premier League. The Mail on Sunday says the fact that PSV Eindhoven ace Depay is a free scoring wide forward rather than a conventional No 9 does not mean they will not make a move for Bale.

Indeed United are to set to be on the front foot when it comes to chasing the Welshman.

There is a growing feeling in Madrid that Bale could be offloaded when the club makes at least two inevitable stellar signings this summer.
