Manchester United will off-load Robin van Persie and Angel Di Maria this summer - to make way for the marquee signing of Gareth Bale.
United are preparing to ditch Van Persie and last summer's £59.7million British-record signing Di Maria to shave a massive £500,000-a-week off their wage bill, enabling them to land Bale from Real Madrid.
Bale remains the Old Trafford giants’ top transfer target this summer, and they believe a deal can be struck to land the former Tottenham star and bring him back to the Premier League after two years in Spain.
Central to United’s hopes of securing the Welshman will be getting rid of striker Van Persie and winger Di Maria, both of whom are on £250,000-a-week.
They have received sufficient encouragement to move for Bale this summer, having lost out on him in 2013 when he decided to join Real from Spurs for a world-record fee of £85m.
Bale has endured a tough second season at Real and become a scapegoat for the team’s failings, with fans venting their anger at him as Carlo Ancelotti’s side - who won the European Cup and Spanish Cup last year - face the prospect of ending this campaign empty-handed.
