Real Madrid could offer Gareth Bale to Manchester United in return for Paul Pogba.

The Spanish giants are considering using the Welshman as make-weight in a deal for the French World Cup winner, according to the Daily Mirror.

And in another potential swap deal, the Daily Star reports that James Rodriguez could be sent to Old Trafford in return for Pogba.

The Colombian, who spent the season on loan with Bayern Munich, has told the German club not to exercise their right to buy him.
