+1 - United tactics are ideal for Bale, we just don't play like that and why would he want to join a club who doesn't use wingers when he is one of the best wingers in Europe (on current form).Matty said:I think Bale would chose United over City. Bale's game is all about his pace, his power and his ability to run at the opposition, usually as part of a fast moving breakaway, turning defence into attack. City, certainly under Mancini, simply don't employ this tactic and, as good as Bale is, I can't see Mancini changing his tactical ethos to accomodate him. United, on the other hand, are tailor made to play to Bale's strengths. Bale would be the perfect replacement for either Nani or Valencia. The only stumbling block would be the fee, Spurs showed with Modric that they will play hardball, I can't see United splashing the kind of cash required to get Bale.

He's clearly more effective through the middle though and potentially we could offer him a role behind the striker that Rooney currently fills at united.
I still think he'd pick United though.
