Real Madrid is willing to sell Gareth Bale to Manchester United in January and plan to move for Chelsea’s Eden Hazard as a replacement.

United have been strongly linked with a £90million move for Bale in the new year with Louis van Gaal known to be a huge fan.

And despite Bale insisting he’s happy at Madrid, reports say the Spanish giants are open to selling the Welshman – with Hazard being lined up to replace him.

Hazard has been a long-term target for Madrid and while Chelsea would resist any deal, the Belgian has made no secret of his interest in playing in Spain.
