Five reasons Manchester United should NOT swap Di Maria for Bale

Manchester United are one of the biggest clubs in the world, that is fair to say, and their fans expect them to be linked with the biggest and best players there are, but the latest transfer rumour has shocked even their most ardent of fans.

According to the press, Real Madrid are willing to allow Gareth Bale to leave the club and join Louis van Gaal’s revolution at United but on one condition.
