Manchester United receive boost as Real Madrid make forward available for transfer

A breakdown in relationship between Zinedine Zidane and Gareth Bale means that the Welshman has no future at Real Madrid, report AS.

Since returning for a second spell as Madrid boss in March, Zidane has been running the rule over his squad ahead of what is likely to be a busy summer in the transfer market.

The 29-year-old was also absent from the 19-man group selected for last weekend's 3-2 victory over Villarreal.

Madrid are keen to bolster their attacking options ahead of the 2019/20 campaign, with Chelsea's Eden Hazard their leading target.
