Gareth Bale tipped to quit Real Madrid for Man Utd or Tottenham after Bernabeu problems

Berbatov insists only Bale can decide his future but advised him to consider a return to the Premier League for either United or Tottenham if he ultimately leaves Spain.

The Bulgarian legend told Betfair: “Gareth Bale managed to get on the score sheet in midweek for Real Madrid, but it was sad to see him come off injured, you want to see players like that play all the time.

“But then, I’m surprised that when you play at this high level, for Real Madrid, and you have so many injuries throughout your career and you can’t seem to get rid of them – what is going on?

“I’m sure Real Madrid have a great medical department, but the player needs to know their body and if needs be they should train a different way.
