Manchester United have been told to forget about signing Brazilian star Neymar and rather go after Madrid star Gareth Bale.
United are in need of a big name signing to lift spirit at the club, and attract other big targets.
Despite once meeting the buyout clause in Neymar's contract, the Barcelona playmaker refused to move to Old Trafford.
Unconfirmed reports has it that the player is close to agreeing a new deal with the Spanish Champions, which would make it more difficult for United to sign him.
However a source close to both Barcelona and Real Madrid thinks Bale stands a better chance of making a switch to Old Trafford.
“United definitely need a player like Neymar. They haven’t really had a genuine superstar since Cristiano Ronaldo or David Beckham." The source told The Sun.
“There’s no doubt the interest from them is serious, and commercially they would make the money back on him if they met the clause. It all
comes down to whether the player(Neymar) wants that move.
“But United signing Bale is the more likely deal, and maybe it is time for him to move on from Madrid.
"Bale at Old Trafford seems a more natural fit."
