INSIDER: Real Madrid axed Bale after learning of Man Utd agreement

Gareth Bale did not start for Real Madrid last night over claims he has an agreement with Manchester United.

Bale entered the action in the second-half of their 4-1 Champions League defeat to Ajax.

And before the game, Okdiario's chief pundit Eduardo Inda revealed Real management are furious amid claims the Welshman has agreed a move to Manchester United.

He said on El Chiringuito: "Bale is not going to play tomorrow, there is a tremendous anger and in the club they're sure he has closed an agreement with Manchester United, betraying Real Madrid who wanted to sell him to Chelsea to lower the price of the (Eden) Hazard operation.

"They want to sell him for €120m."

Indeed, despite Bale's injury problems, Real will push United to pay a Premier League record €120m to land Bale.
