Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has plans for at least three major summer signings - to the tune of £250m.

The Mirror says United see Gareth Bale's remarks after winning the Champions League final as major encouragement to make a mega bid to bring the Welsh star back to the Premier League.

Real Madrid star Bale, who turns 29 this summer, has made it clear he is unhappy and needs to be “playing week-in and week-out" at this stage of his career.

United boss Mourinho has already got Bale on his summer wish list as they look to do a £250m overhaul of the squad also including moves for Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder Fred and Tottenham defender Toby Alderweireld.

But Bale is a long standing target and this would be their THIRD serious attempt to sign him having failed to get him in 2013 when he went to Madrid and then two years ago.

Bale has been reluctant to quit Real Madrid but his relationship with Zinedine Zidane has completely broken down.
