Man Utd manager Mourinho has ‘promised’ Bale something Real Madrid can’t
The biggest obstacle to Manchester United’s pursuit of Gareth Bale has always been the player himself. The money has been there all along. Tottenham were prepared to let the Welshman head to Old Trafford five years ago when Ed Woodward trumped Real Madrid’s £85.3m world record bid. And there have been plenty of occasions since when United were encouraged enough to test the water over his potential return to the Premier League.

La Liga titles haven’t come so frequently - just the one during his time at the Bernabeu. But it’s still more than United have managed over the same period.

After just a season and a half at Old Trafford, Jose Mourinho sanctioned his transfer to Arsenal in exchange for Alexis Sanchez. Since joining the north Londoners, Mkhitaryan has found the back of the net twice and produced five assists. The Armenian believes he couldn't have started any better at Arsenal and appears to take a swipe at Jose Mourinho and United's style of play. "When I heard I could swap Man United for Arsenal, I said, ‘Yes, I want to do that’, I didn’t think twice," Mkhitaryan told FourFourTwo . "It’s important for me to play in an offensive team. "I couldn’t have imagined a better start. I'd missed playing offensively. I joined Arsenal because Wenger wanted me, not because he wanted to replace Sanchez. "We are different players and characters, with different abilities and skills, so I'll try my … [Read more...] about Mkhitaryan appears to take yet another dig at Man Utd and Mourinho
