Old Trafford is considered the most likely destination for the Welsh midfielder. Real are ready to push Bale away from Bernabeu as part of a strong restructuring plan for the club. Continuous injuries and even when healthy, Zidane does not use the former Tottenham midfielder regularly are the main reasons for Bale's uncertain future at the White House.
However, not every club can meet Real Madrid's demands. In 2013, Real bought Bale from Tottenham for £85 million and now President Perez wants to recoup the loss at the highest price possible.
If the British press recently said that the Red Devils would not only pay more than 53 million pounds for Bale, now Don Balon asserts that MU has raised the figure to 70 million pounds, including bonuses.
Journalist Eduardo Inda revealed: "Bale has received offers, one from PSG, who contacted him when the two teams met in C1 and one from Chelsea. But he wants to leave Real Madrid to go to MU. Bale has had talks with Mourinho who sees him as a new Ronaldo".
President Perez wants Bale to accept the best option for Real, but it seems that this midfielder will only leave if the destination is MU.
Mourinho secretly negotiated with Umtiti
Sport (Spain) newspaper said that MU captain Jose Mourinho called Samuel Umtiti personally and convinced this central defender to come to Old Trafford.

| Umtiti is afraid that if he comes to MU, Mourinho will treat him like his friend Pogba is going through. |
According to the above source, it was not just a call but in fact the Portuguese strategist was in regular contact with the former Lyon player.
Recent news said that Umtiti told Barca directly that if he does not get the salary increase as desired (150,000 pounds/week, equivalent to 7.9 million pounds/year), he will leave.
As a result, it seems that the Nou Camp team also plans to sell Umtiti, if nothing else.
Excited by the favorable opportunity, Mourinho called the 24-year-old center back and assured him that MU would pay him the desired amount, which made Umtiti waver.
However, Mundo added that Umtiti knows all about how Mourinho treats Pogba and that could prevent him from going to the Theatre of Dreams. Not to mention, there is information that Griezmann will join Barca, which means more reason for Umtiti to stay. The problem is that he wants the club to increase his salary.
MU is preparing to sell some names in the defense at the end of the season, most likely Luke Shaw, Darmian and Smalling. Mourinho also wants more budget from Daley Blind, or Ander Herrera to have money to bring in names like Umtiti.
Umtiti's release clause from Barca is £53m.
