Mourinho shares joke with Bale about Man United move

Jose Mourinho has joked with Gareth Bale about Manchester United’s alleged interest in the forward.

United have been linked with Bale for far too bloody long and it is all a little bit boring now because he won’t be moving to Old Trafford in the near future.

The Real Madrid winger is one of four ‘fantasy’ signings that United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward hopes to make at some point.

Bale himself discussed the renewed rumours earlier this month, dismissing them as little more than speculation.

He and Mourinho saw each other in the tunnel after United’s pre-season fixture against Real on Monday, with the pair sharing a joke.

It is claimed that Mourinho said to Bale: “”I can’t buy you because you don’t talk to me.”

Amazing, isn’t it?
