Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho has been picked up by a hot mic discussing Gareth Bale's situation with his No2 Joao Sacramento.

The Sun reports in the video, shared on Spurs TV, the Portuguese coach asked: “You want to stay here? Or go to Real Madrid and play no football?"

Mourinho was talking to Sacramento and other backroom staff.

The Spurs boss was telling them what he said to Bale in crisis talks he had with the star, who is on a season loan from the Bernabeu.

Bale has made just one Premier League start for Spurs since signing in October, when he was subbed off in a 1-0 win at West Brom on November 8.

In all he has had 161 minutes of top-flight action, with Mourinho using him in the Europa League primarily.
