Man United edge closer to sensational £150m Bale and Robben deals

Both players have been extensively linked with the Old Trafford club

English club Manchester United are reportedly closing in on Bayern Munich winger Arjen Robben and Real Madrid Gareth Bale which will cost them £150million.

Louis van Gaal’s team have been previously linked with both left-foot players, and most recently Robben has been their main target after Robert Lewandowski’s claimed that he was not a fan of Munich’s wide man’s reluctance to pass the ball.



Meanwhile, Bale has been facing a lot of critique from media and Madrid fans alike as he has not been able to emulate the first season performance at the Bernabeu.

Fichajes reported that the Robben deal was edging closer - as exclusively revealed in the Sunday People - and ESPN believe Bale is also moving towards a switch back to the Premier League.



Lingard said no to Liverpool for United

Manchester United winger Jesse Lingard revealed that he turned down Liverpool’s offer to sign up for the Red Devils, according to Mirror.co.uk.

Lingard, 22, received his first full England call-up following a handful of impressive displays for United in the past month.



The Warrington-born winger scored his first United goal in the 2-0 win over West Brom before the international break.

Lingard said he rejected the Liverpool offer because he was a fan of the Old Trafford club.
