After continuous rumors surrounding Cristiano Ronaldo's possible re-signing with Manchester United, apparently things could take an unexpected turn.
Sources indicate that, despite all the love shown by CR7 regarding his previous team, Louis Van Gaal's crew would be more interested in signing Welsh star Gareth Bale. After going through a detailed analysis, United's counselors would have proposed to make a bid for Real Madrid's Number 11 rather than making one for Cristiano Ronaldo, since the cost of the operation would be significantly lower.
It is unclear right now if Real Madrid would agree to sell either one of them, but United's interest may be high, since one of their star signings this summer, Argentinian Angel Di Maria, has proven quite an asset for the Old Trafford club.
Manchester United was one of the most active sides during this summer's transfer period, signing such players as Radamel Falcao, Daley Blind and Luke Shaw, among others.
