Manchester United will step up their interest in Gareth Bale if David de Gea decides that his future is at Real Madrid, according to reports.
The Spanish goalkeeper has been the subject of intense speculation linking him with a move to the Bernabeu.
According to the Daily Express, United will go back to Real to try to negotiate a deal for Bale if De Gea decides to head back to Spain.
The 24-year-old stopper is said to have told close friends that his heart will govern where he plays his football, rather than money.
