Gareth Bale plays down Manchester United move

Real Madrid ace Gareth Bale says that he is staying with the Spanish giants amid speculation linking him to Manchester United.

Gareth Bale has insisted that he has no intention of swapping Real Madrid for Manchester United anytime soon.

Speculation is rife that the Red Devils are readying a £100m bid for the Welshman, but Bale, who only joined the Blancos for a world-record £86m in 2013, says that he is staying put.

"Manchester United? I'm happy in Madrid. I love the city, the weather and the club. I'm eager to win more silverware here," he told Marca.

"I have a contract with Real Madrid until 2019 and could remain for more years after the end of it."

Madrid would reportedly consider the sale if United included goalkeeper David de Gea as a makeweight in the prospective deal.

Earlier on Tuesday, Real president Florentino Perez also poured cold water on the move.

The 25-year-old marked his first season in the Spanish capital by helping the club to their 10th Champions League title, along with a Copa del Rey - scoring in both finals.
