SWOOP: Bayern Munich will look to trump Manchester United in signing Gareth Bale

German champions are looking to Bale as a replacement for Arjen Robben who has struggled with injuries in recent seasons.

Bale, 26, has impressed in La Liga since making his world record move to Madrid in the summer of 2013.

Louis van Gaal is set to renew his interest in Bale as he looks to strengthen his United squad.

MAKING A MOVE: Bayern boss Pep Guardiola wants to take Bale to Germany

The Wales star is reportedly assessing his options and could leave the Bernabeu this summer.

Pep Guardiola’s Bayern Munich have emerged as contenders to sign him but United will do everything in their power to bring Bale to Old Trafford.
Despite spending over £250m since arriving at the club, Van Gaal has been told by the club officials funds will continue to be available.

FUNDS: Louis van Gaal has been told he has more money to spend in the transfer window

United currently sit fourth in the Premier League, just two points behind leaders Manchester City and Arsenal who sit second.
They face a Capital One Cup tie against Middlesbrough tonight before facing a tough trip to Crystal Palace on Saturday.
