Manchester United are odds on favourites to sign Gareth Bale from Real Madrid this summer.
The Wales international has endured a tough season in the Spanish capital, and it's been claimed that he does not feature in Zinedine Zidane's future plans.
His agent, Jonathan Barnett, recently stated that the 29-year-old is eager to see out the remaining three years of his contract with Los Galacticos.
But reports in Spain suggested the La Liga giants would freeze him out of the first team proceedings, and potentially drop Bale into the Under-23s set-up , if he failed to secure a move away from the Bernabeu this summer.
And as a result of recent events, bookmakers now believe Bale is now more likely to join Manchester United than to remain in the Spanish capital this summer.
Paddy Power have the Red Devils as 8/11 favourites to secure the services of Wales' talisman.
And he is evens to remain with the club he joined from Tottenham in 2013.
Bayern Munich (16/1), Tottenham (16/1), Chelsea (20/1), Inter Milan (25/1) and Man City (66/1) are all further down the running.
