Manchester United will be encouraged to make a summer move for Gareth Bale if he begins the Champions League final on the bench, according to reports in Spain.
Real Madrid forward Bale has been a long term target for United, who wanted to sign him before his world record move from Tottenham Hotspur in 2013 and have been linked with him since.
Bale has been a star for Real since, but has suffered injury problems this season with Isco putting in brilliant displays as his replacement.
According to Barcelona-based website Mundo Deportivo, Isco's form could see him start in Saturday's final ahead of Bale, which could give United belief they would be able to tempt the Welshman back to the Premier League.
