AC Milan legend Andrei Shevchenko has urged Gareth Bale to tough it out at Real Madrid.

Bale is weighing up his future at Real after a difficult second season in Spain.

"Bale should get to work and focus on his own game to try and prove those who doubt him at Madrid wrong.

"He needs to be calm and to just focus on his game," said Shevchenko.

""He is a great player, it's all about him, what he wants to do, if he decides to move it's all his decision."
