Mourinho’s ‘bullying’ of Shaw to scupper Bale move?

Gareth Bale and Luke Shaw share the same agent so Jose Mourinho’s ‘bullying’ of the Manchester United full-back is reportedly putting the Welshman off a move to Old Trafford.

Bale has long been linked with United and talk has once again turned to a £90m summer move after he was left out of Real Madrid’s line-up for two last-16 ties with PSG.

But Bale and Shaw are both clients of Jonathan Barnett and the Daily Mail claim that ‘Bale’s representatives have concerns over their star client signing for United while Mourinho is in charge’.

They are said to be ‘furious’ about Mourinho’s treatment of Shaw, with the Mail adding that ‘those close to the player believe Mourinho’s treatment is tantamount to bullying’.

Should Bale leave Madrid this summer, his wages and price tag mean that only the two Manchester clubs and Chelsea could afford to bring him back to the Premier League.
