Manchester United are prepared to attempt to sign Gareth Bale this summer if Real Madrid indicate that he is available, sources have told ESPN FC.
Bale was not on Jose Mourinho's original list of targets despite his desire to sign a winger, with the United manager believing Madrid wanted to keep the Wales international.
However, reports in Spain suggest Bale could now be allowed to leave if Madrid secure a world-record move for Monaco striker Kylian Mbappe.
Spanish newspaper Marca -- which has close ties to Bernabeu president Florentino Perez -- reported on Tuesday that the European champions have reached agreement in principle over a £161 million deal for 18-year-old Mbappe, whose arrival would put pressure on Bale.
