Manchester United would still be prepared to pay a world record fee for Gareth Bale.

That United are still open to signing the 25-year-old is hardly a secret and, with Ed Woodward under pressure not to repeat the mistakes of Cristiano Ronaldo's transfer with the probable David de Gea deal, it could be third time lucky for United.

Southampton sold Bale to Tottenham instead of United in 2007 and the Welshman preferred a move to Real Madrid in 2013.

Although Bale has publicly insisted he wants to stay at the Bernabeu, it is believed he would be open to a return to England this summer.

United have reportedly agreed a £13m fee with Hoffenheim for the signing of 23-year-old Brazilian striker Roberto Firmino.


Firmino scored Brazil's winner against Honduras on Wednesday night and could play a key role in their Copa America campaign.
