According to a report in The Daily Mirror, Manchester United are making a massive 60 million pound bid for Tottenham Hotspur star Gareth Bale.
The Premier League champions want the winger to be the first major signing of new manager David Moyes' reign. Spurs are desperate not to lose Bale, last year's Footballer of the Year, and have so far resisted United's approach.
Earlier, David Moyes got the green signal from United to go for Tottenham Hotspur star Gareth Bale and Real Madrid ace Cristiano Ronaldo. Moyes in a press conference had said, "Isn't it great that the club says, 'There's no budget here, you go get who you want to get, just go and do it'. We are looking at the best players. I do think it's important that we show people we are carrying on the traditions and trying to take the club forward."
United have been quiet in the transfer market so far this summer, but sources close to the club say that is about to change. United's current record fee is the 30.75m pounds they paid to Tottenham for their former striker Dimitar Berbatov in 2007.
Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is famous for driving a hard bargain and his brinkmanship, but United are keen to seal a deal to prise Bale out of the White Hart Lane club before the start of the season on August 17.
