Reports are out claiming that Arsenal hero Paul Merson says Manchester United should focus on Gareth Bale over his Real Madrid teammate Cristiano Ronaldo.
Merson wrote in the Daily Star: “There has been lots of talk this week about Ronaldo ending up back at Old Trafford because he’s unhappy at Real Madrid and angling for a move.
“But I don’t think it would work for him or United.
“However good he thinks he is, Ronaldo is not going to be scoring 30 goals a season and terrorising defences when he’s 34.
“But it’s not just that. Bale is a team player. He’d fit in under Van Gaal. He works harder and he’s willing to work back for the team.
“He ticks every single box and signing him would be massive for United. I can’t see them winning the league with this team because, although they’re hard to beat, they don’t score enough goals.”
