United have been long-term suitors of Bale and tried signing the Welshman when he was starring for Tottenham.
But the Daily Star claims Bale could eventually make the move to Old Trafford, with Jose Mourinho’s side his preferred destination should he leave the Santiago Bernabeu.
However, Real have no intention of selling for the mean time and plan on restoring Bale to the starting XI when the new term rolls around.
Bale was hit by a number of big injuries last season and saw his place in the line-up taken by Isco.
The Spaniard was so good that he kept Bale out of the Champions League final XI.
But the Wales international remains a key member of Zidane’s squad, although he could be saying goodbye to Alvaro Morata shortly.
