2) Gareth Bale (Real Madrid)
Meanwhile, the Daily Mirror report that United are still interested in signing long-time target Gareth Bale from Real Madrid. The Welshman is another exciting and direct attacking midfield player who could be a great buy if the club do lose Di Maria this summer, having proven a big hit in the Premier League during his time as a Tottenham Hotspur player, though the Mirror say he could end up costing a whopping £95m, which would possibly be too much even for big-spending United to consider at this point.
