Dwight Yorke: 'Manchester United need Gareth Bale'

Dwight Yorke believes that Manchester United 'need to sign Gareth Bale' in order to get back to the top of the Premier League.

Former Manchester United striker Dwight Yorke has said that the Red Devils 'need to sign Gareth Bale' if they are to challenge for the Premier League title next season.

Speculation has linked Bale, 25, with a move away from Real Madrid, though he recently stated his desire to stay with the Spanish club.

However, Yorke, 43, has stated that Bale is the one player Louis van Gaal's side must bring in this summer.

"I would get Bale in. That's who United need: a player who will just take the ball and run. He's British, he's exciting, he's fast. He goes past people and that will lift everyone going forward," Yorke told The Sun.

"When he is in full flow, he is one of the best in the world. That's why Madrid paid the money for him. If I was signing one player for United this summer, it would be him."

Yorke won three Premier League titles, the FA Cup and the Champions League during his four-year spell with Manchester United.
