Real Sociedad coach David Moyes admits he tried to sign Real Madrid star Gareth Bale for Manchester United last season. United offered £100m for the then Tottenham winger - more than the Spanish giants - but he chose Madrid over Manchester.
"When I got the job, I thought Gareth Bale would have been a super Manchester United player," Moyes said.
"I thought he had that look about him that you expect to see in Manchester United players.
"He was someone we were really interested in but he had his heart set on Real Madrid."
