Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho is ready to "fight" for Gareth Bale's signature if Real Madrid leave the attacker out of the UEFA Super Cup.
Bale is part of the 24-man squad in Macedonia for the match between the Champions League and Europa League winners, but speculation continues over the Wales international's future.
There have been suggestions in Spain that Madrid are willing to part company with the 28-year-old as they move for Monaco's Kylian Mbappe, giving hope to long-standing admirers United.
Mourinho recently said it would be impossible to bring in Bale, but is now ready to pounce on any softening stance on Real's part.
"If he's playing tomorrow, well, no I wouldn't think of that possibility of signing on (Bale)," the United boss said in Macedonia ahead of facing his former club.
"If he is playing tomorrow, it is because he is in the coach's plans and in the club's plans and because he also has that ambition to continue in Real Madrid.
"So I haven't even thought of the possibility of signing him on our team.
"If he's not in the club's plans, if what you are writing right now is true - I am not sure whether it is or not - that the arrival of another player (would) perhaps (mean) Gareth would be on his way out.
"If he is on his way out of Real Madrid, well, I'll try to be waiting for him on the other side and try to fight with other coaches that would also like to have him on his team.
"But I think that if he plays tomorrow, it is probably the best confirmation that they'll keep counting on him during the season."
That front 3 would be insane. What i would worry about is anybody who buys Bale should really be concerned about his injuries. Missed 80 games for Madrid through injury which has clearly affected his time there. he has had 17 different injuries since joining Madrid.
When fully fit and flying he is outstanding though. Always thought he would end up at United as a direct replacement for Giggs.
Doubtful the Bale numbers will add up for ManU as opposed to Ronaldo but even then they wouldn't go above £60m - They'd have to part with £100m minimum to get him plus the £19m per season thereafter - Add in a minimum 5+1 year deal and its £200m + for a 28 year old injury prone player who is dependant on speed. Never sat never but very doubtful it would get sanctioned by the the Glazers.
