Gareth Bale will be given the challenge of replacing Cristiano Ronaldo as the focal point of Real Madrid.

Bale has been a long-term target for Manchester United.

Bale will seek assurances that he will become a starter again, having spent much of last season on the bench under Zinedine Zidane.

When Bale didn't start the Champions League Final, he voiced his frustration and alerted other clubs about his availability.
