Reports are out claiming that Zinedine Zidane insists Real Madrid will not consider selling Gareth Bale to Manchester United.
Zidane, in charge of the club’s reserve team, said there was no way the club would allow Bale to leave this summer.
The Frenchman said: “Real Madrid buy the best players in the world, they don’t sell them. Of course other clubs will be interested in him, he would improve any squad in the world.
“But the president has said he is not for sale – and that is because he is not for sale. That will be the answer to Manchester United or any other club that asks the question.
“He was a big part of our success last season especially in the Champions League, and as we look to defend our title I am sure he will play a successful part again.”
