As the summer transfer window reaches its conclusion, the rumours surrounding Manchester United's activity intensify—with Gareth Bale now being linked with a sensational world-record move to Old Trafford.
Steve Bates of the Sunday People (h/t the Mirror) says Louis van Gaal is "banking on a dramatic 72-hour window of opportunity" to purchase the £95 million Welshman, who has become the scapegoat for Real Madrid's recent failures on the pitch. The winger has been singled out by the crowd at the Bernabeu, and the United hierarchy believe they can exploit this element in the final hours of the window.
