Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal has refused to be drawn on speculation linking the club with a move for Real Madrid star Gareth Bale.
Reports in the UK and Spanish media have recently suggested United are ready to bring Bale back to Britain, but Van Gaal insisted any discussion of the Wales international would remain in house.
The former Barcelona manager told a news conference: "I cannot discuss that with you. I discuss it with my CEO and not with anyone in the media."
David Manasseh, who co-owns the Stellar Group that represents Bale, told Calcio Mercato last month that rumours linking the player with a move to United were untrue and that the player was fully committed to Real.
AS has reported that United are willing to pay 120 million pounds, or 153 million euros, to land the player but the newspaper says the player's camp have rejected claims in the UK press that he is keen to return to England.
A poll of 30,000 Real Madrid fans carried out on AS.com found that 53 percent would be happy to see the 25-year-old sold.
