Jose Mourinho has revealed he will "fight" for Gareth Bale if the £85million star is not wanted by Real Madrid.
Manchester United boss Mourinho has been linked with a summer move for the high flying winger, who has seemingly fallen out of favour at Real under Zinedine Zidane.
United face Real in the UEFA Super Cup tomorrow, with Mourinho claiming he will know if Bale is wanted if he makes Zidane's starting line-up in Skopje.
Real are trying to sign Monaco's £160million-rated wonderkid Kylian Mbpappe, which would almost certainly leave Bale surplus to requirements at the Bernabeu.
When asked in his press conference if he had considered a move for Bale, Mourinho said:
“Well, if he's playing tomorrow, no I wouldn't think that, it would be because he's in the coach's plans and the club's plans, because he also has that motivation to continue at Real Madrid.
"So I haven't even thought about the possibility.
"If he is not in the club's plans, that with the arrival of another player would mean he was on his way out, I will try to be waiting for him on the other side and fight with other coaches that would want him on their team.
"But if he plays tomorrow, that is the best confirmation that he is still wanted by the team."
