The big Manchester United news on Thursday was the fact that Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane didn’t rule out Gareth Bale, Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema splitting up this summer.
“I hope the BBC [Benzema, Bale and Cristiano] stay for this season,” said Zidane.
“I hope everyone remains. I want everyone who is here now to stay.
“But anything can happen right up until August 31.”
Zidane’s comments coupled with the fact that many people believe that Madrid will need to sell Bale in order to fund a massive move for Monaco star Kylian Mbappe, is why Manchester United fans are getting their hopes up.
