Manchester United are making a massive £60million bid for Gareth Bale.

Premier League champions United want Tottenham star Bale to be the first major signing of new manager David Moyes' reign.

The move for the Welshman is thought to be one of the reasons why United's vice chairman Ed Woodward is returning early from their pre-season tour of the Far East and Australia.

Spurs are desperate not to lose Bale, last year’s Footballer of the Year, and have so far resisted United’s approach.

But the Old Trafford giants are keen to put the damaging publicity surrounding the future of Wayne Rooney behind them.

They know that buying Bale - who has been linked with Real Madrid throughout the off-season - would give Moyes, his players and the United supporters a huge boost.

And his arrival, as well as continued interest in Barcelona midfielder Cesc Fabregas and at least one other high-profile signing, would soften the blow of Rooney's expected move to Chelsea.

United have been quiet in the transfer market so far this summer, but sources close to the club say that is about to change.

There is also continuing speculation about a mega-bid to bring former favourite Cristiano Ronaldo back to Old Trafford from Real Madrid.

But the attempt to prise Bale away from Tottenham is top of the agenda, and United are prepared to smash their £30.8m transfer record to get him.

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.

They are aware that neighbours Manchester City have already bolstered their squad with the signings of midfielders Fernandinho and Jesus Navas and are close to recruiting forwards Stevan Jovetic and Alvaro Negredo.

And United are desperate to ensure that they give Moyes complete backing as he attempts to carry on the phenomenal success his predecessor Sir Alex Ferguson delivered.

Lipton who is very close to spurs says levy won't sell to utd, and bale isn't interested.

Moyes phantom bid number 3 of the summer
 
I'm quite certain that Spurs won't sell Bale this season unless for an exceptional amount of money
I feel he'd be willing to commit to one more season at Spurs and continue his development to one of the best in the world before leaving next season if they don't make the UCL.
Combined with him being involved in their kit release, billboards in Times Square, the cover of Fifa, it simply wouldn't have happened without him being satisfied at Spurs for one more season.
At his current trajectory he would still be worth the 60million style super signing fee next season.

So for United's secret super bid, if there is one, I'd put my money on Ronaldo over Bale.
 
Palace have completed the signing of Spanish U21 star Jose Campana from Sevilla for an undisclosed sum. Also finalised a 1 year deal for Kevin Phillips. Gosling is still waiting to see if anyone else is mug enough to take him before reluctantly coming to Palace (seemingly) and there is talk of a Croatian U20 attacking midfielder. Much more of this, (Gosling aside) and I might start with the whole false optimism thing.

Reports over here say 2.2 million Euros.
 
Like Moyes would ever spend that amount of money on one player. However, a left side of Baines and Bale is pretty frightening
 
I think Moyes is a big fan of Bales and that he'l be the big name signing he'l attempt this summer at United, always full of praise for Bale whenever we were about to face them.
 

Jovetic to city confirmed by florentina
Maicon has left city and gone to Roma

City must have already spent another 100 million this window...
