Gareth Bale’s main strengths are his versatility: he can play in
the full back berth or further up the field, his ability to strike
a dead ball, and his pass and move.
At 19 years of age there is still room for improvement in his game,
but Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has been alerted to
the Welshman’s potential and may be tempted to make a swoop as
early as January, if reports in the Daily Mail are to be
believed.
The reigning double champions have already raided Spurs twice in
the recent past, having prised English midfielder Michael Carrick,
and silky Bulgarian striker Dimitar Berbatov away from White Hart
Lane.
The Daily Mail also says that Harry Redknapp is already looking at
alternative options in the event that Bale makes the move to Old
Trafford.
