David Moyes, the new United boss, won\u2019t want to be left at the starting gate in the chase for the league\u2019s outstanding performer, especially if Wayne Rooney doesn\u2019t withdraw his

the issue top of his in-tray when he takes over on July 1.<\/p>\n<p>Bale, who Fergie failed to sign when he was at Southampton, was originally a left-back but has now emerged as a pacy match-winning left winger.<\/p>\n<p>He can also play in a central free role behind a striker.<\/p>\n<p>Buoyed by the completion of a number of big money sponsorship deals Manchester \u00a0United\u2019s board are

after 26 years at the helm, moves to sign a big name are perhaps even more pressing given that Wayne Rooney has put in a verbal transfer request.<\/p>\n<p>David Moyes has earmarked moves to bring in more effective wide attacking options given the fairly average campaigns the likes of Luis Antonio Valencia, Ashley Young and Nani have had this season and the Toffees boss is keen to see Welshman
