Real Madrid star Gareth Bale is ready to join Manchester United if Real decide to sell him in the summer, claims The Independent.

The Welshman has struggled with injuries this season and has managed just 26 appearances. His struggles this season have thrown doubts at his future at the Madrid club.

The report claims that sources close to both clubs have confirmed that a deal is likelier than ever before.

United have been chasing Bale for quite some time now, but the report also claims that manager Jose Mourinho is still unsure about the 27-year-old.
