Tottenham have been urged to re-sign Gareth Bale but fans are sceptical.

Gareth Bale’s future at Real Madrid has been subject of speculation this week with manager Zinedine Zidane repeatedly quizzed about the Welshman at a press conference [Marca].

Manchester United have not been shy about their interest, but former club Tottenham have been urged by pundit Ian Wright to launch an attempt to re-sign the winger, in comments made to BBC 5 Live.

Bale had his weakest season of his four years at Real Madrid so far on a personal level, scoring only seven La Liga goals, even though he ended up winning two major trophies.

Bale would have to take a major pay cut in order to join Tottenham, and any deal would require them breaking their transfer record, probably more than doubling it.

Last night the 28-year-old was in action for Real Madrid against Manchester United, selected from the start and featured for 75 minutes.

He almost scored in the 2-1 win, crashing a right footed shot against the bar from close range, and spurning an early, if awkward chance.

Tottenham fans remain unconvinced they can do a deal, but enjoyed seeing him in action, although there were a wide array of views.

Suggestions included former star Luka Modric being a more influential player, and Isco being a better player, with questions about whether Bale is being used correctly, and still has the pace he did at Tottenham.

Here is a look at the reaction to his performance…
