Manchester United have put Tottenham star Gareth
Bale at the head of their summer wanted
list.
Sir Alex Ferguson will have to pay out in excess of £40million
for the exciting Welsh star and will face stiff opposition from the
likes of Barcelona and Real Madrid.
But Ferguson sees Bale as the long-term replacement for
fellow-Welshman Ryan Giggs who is nearing the end of his
illustrious career at Old Trafford.
There will be fierce competition for Bale who has emerged as
one of the most exciting young talents in the Premier League over
the last two years.
Spurs have put up the ‘no sale’ signs around Bale but history
shows Ferguson has a habit of getting his man.

Can Harry Redknapp keep hold of Gareth Bale? Clearly the Welsh
international has a lot to thank the White Hart Lane boss for,
helping reignite a career that has stagnated after an initial run
in the first team proved unsuccessful. Manchester United have of
course picked up the likes of Michael Carrick and Dimitar Berbatov
from Tottenham despite resistance
from the North London club, so could this be a case of third time
lucky?
The race for a coveted top four spot may well be a crucial
factor in the fight for the wide man and Ferguson’s chances of
snaring Bale would surely increase substantially if Tottenham
failed to secure another season of Champions League football.
