Manchester United again want to sign Gareth Bale from Real Madrid and are not concerned by his injury history.

Bale has missed 40 of Real Madrid's past 60 matches because of injury and has yet to play since late September. Bale is expected to miss another month and a half after suffering a thigh problem last week.

Bale was sold by Tottenham Hotspur to Real Madrid in 2013 for £85 million.

Jose Mourinho previously tried to buy Bale for United.

A deal is more likely to occur in the summer than in January.
