Manchester United agree £104m deal for Real Madrid's Gareth Bale?

An agreement is reportedly already in place for Gareth Bale to swap Real Madrid for Manchester United at the end of the season.

The Welshman's future is again a hot topic of discussion following recent comments made by his agent, who hit out at the 'disgraceful' supporters that regularly jeer the forward.

Bale has enjoyed huge success during his six years in Spain, winning the Champions League four times, the Club World Cup and UEFA Super Cup three times and La Liga and the Copa del Rey once.

However, the former Tottenham Hotspur attacker's time at the Bernabeu appears to be drawing to a close on the back of another frustrating campaign that has seen him fail to hold down a regular starting spot.

Spanish journalist Eduardo Inda claims that long-term admirers United may have finally closed an agreement for his transfer, with a fee of £104m expected to change hands.

Real would prefer Bale to join Chelsea as part of a player-plus-cash deal for Eden Hazard, but the Blues are hopeful of keeping their star man at Stamford Bridge.
