'I wanted to sign Bale at Man Utd' - Red Devils had a 'chance' to snare Welsh superstar, says Moyes

David Moyes has admitted there was a "chance" for Gareth Bale to join Manchester United at the start of his Old Trafford tenure, but said the Welsh superstar made the right decision to join Real Madrid.

With Bale set to make his second Spurs debut against Moyes' West Ham side on Sunday, the Scottish manager spoke about his pursuit of the Wales international while he was manager at the Theatre of Dreams.

Moyes revealed Bale was the first signing he tried to make at Man Utd and that he thought the club had an opportunity to beat Real Madrid to the player's signing.
