The Borussia Dortmund star has long been linked with a switch to the Premier League and Louis van Gaal appears ready to make his move.

The day Real Madrid ace Gareth Bale finally signs for Manchester United will be a joyous one for journalists across the land. For the best part of three years, despite his record-breaking switch to Spain in 2013, rumours of the Welshman moving to Old Trafford have refused to go away.

In this morning's Daily Star, it is reported that United have saved £120m in order to launch an audacious move for the former Tottenham man next summer.
