First of all I have to say that I would be very surprised if this bit of transfer business does happen, but you never can tell and it would certainly spell trouble for Arsenal if it did. Double trouble in fact, because as well as Arsene Wenger missing out on one of his top transfer targets of the summer it would see one of our direct rivals strengthened significantly.
So Arsenal fans everywhere will be hoping that the Metro report suggesting that Real Madrid could be ready to sell the Wales international star to Manchester United in order to fund their transfer pursuit of the Monaco and France forward, and Arsenal target, Kylian Mbappe is wide of the mark.
If Jose Mourinho was able to add Bale to the United squad this summer I reckon it could land them the EPL title but as I said, I find it hard to imagine Madrid and Zinedine Zidane agreeing to the sale of one of their best and most influential players.
This does not mean to say that Arsenal will win the race for the coveted and highly rated young striker, as there are many more players that the Spanish club could sell to raise money, but let us hope, at least, that Bale to United is not part of the plan.
