Man Utd target Bale eager to repay Benitez faith at Real Madrid

Real Madrid's Gareth Bale has made it clear that he is going nowhere this summer.


The Welsh ace has been the subject of interest from Manchester United in recent times but insists he is planning to remain at the Santiago Bernabeu and win trophies with the Spanish giants.

Bale is also eager to repay the pre-season faith shown in him by manager Rafa Benitez and Real president Florentino Perez.

"I am confident," the 26-year-old said after scoring against his former club Tottenham in a 2-0 win in the Audi Cup in Munich on Tuesday.

"It's great to have the support of the manager and the president and hopefully I can repay them now with some goals and trophies."

Real kick off their 2015/16 season with a trip to Sporting Gijon on August 23.
