Man Utd chiefs make decision on Real Madrid, Barcelona stars

Manchester United are ending their pursuit of three La Liga superstars.

The Sunday Mirror says United have drawn a line under ever tempting Cristiano Ronaldo back to Old Trafford and signing fellow global superstars Gareth Bale and Neymar.

United have been monitoring Ronaldo and Bale at Real Madrid, and even asked the Spanish giants to keep them informed of any developments regarding their former No 7 and Wales winger Bale.

But club insiders now expect both men to sign new long-term contracts in the coming months to stay at the Bernabeu.

Madrid's failure to have their transfer ban overturned during the week prompted United to call off the chase for the duo.

The Reds have also been stunned by claims they were prepared to offer Neymar a £650,000-a-week package to leave Barcelona.
