Manchester United are ready to launch a bid for Real Madrid star Gareth Bale this summer. United chiefs have decided to make Bale a priority target for 2015, but accept that it would be near impossible to lure him to Manchester before Monday's transfer deadline.
Therefore, they are prepared to put the funds to one side and keep them for the summer, where they will splash the cash on the 25-year-old.
The Daily Star says United are set to leave £120million to one side and bid for the Real star at the end of the season.
Bale has recently denied that he could move away from Real Madrid, insisting that he was happy in the Spanish capital.
