Real Madrid forward Gareth Bale 'buys house in Manchester'

Real Madrid forward Gareth Bale has reportedly indicated that he is open to a move to Manchester United.

Bale is currently in his sixth campaign at the Bernabeu, but the Wales international has recently been jeered by supporters of the club and criticised by his teammates.

Reports have previously suggested that Bale is happy with life in Spain, but according to Don Balon, the 29-year-old is prepared to make a return to the Premier League.

The report claims that Bale has decided to buy a house in Manchester, as well as being happy to agree personal terms with the North-West giants.

However, the two clubs may find it hard to agree on a price, with it being said that United are only willing to make an offer in the region of £68m.
