Bale to Man Utd off?
Manchester United are interested in bringing Bale back to the Premier League and recent reports have suggested that the Old Trafford outfit are preparing a squad number for the mercurial Welshman.
The Red Devils would be willing to spend in excess of £120m on Bale.
But according to The Sun, Jose Mourinho is adamant he doesn’t want United to blow their budget on the Madrid winger.

Ronaldo to Man Utd back on?
Cristiano Ronaldo's return to Manchester United may now happen due to Zinedine Zidane's departure.
The Frenchman could be replaced by Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino this summer.
And Spanish website Diario Gol say the Spurs boss would happily let Ronaldo leave.
The attacker has angled for moves to United twice before, in 2013 and 2015.
But, on both occasions, the Portugal international ended up with a bumper pay rise.
Zidane exit reason revealed?
Zinedine Zidane shocked the footballing world by calling time on his Real Madrid tenure on Thursday.
And according to Sky Sports' Spanish football expert Guillem Balague, there are issues in the Madrid camp that the Frenchman now no longer wants to deal with.
Moments after Zidane made his announcement, just days after his third Champions League win, Balague revealed: “He feels the players are not listening to him, he’s not that important. It feels like that’s what he’s trying to say.
“He feels someone else has to come in and deal with it.
"He feels the dynamics have changed to a point."
