Bale stole the show in Kiev on Saturday night, netting twice after coming on against Liverpool as Los Blancos eased to a 3-1 win.

And with his future at the Bernabeu in question, Scholes has lauded the talents of the Welsh winger, but fails to see a transfer materialising.

Speaking at a Champions League viewing party at London’s Sky Garden, the 43-year-old said: “Can I see it happening? No, not really.

“The only reason he’d want to leave Real Madrid would be if they wanted him to go. Could he come to Man United then? I hope so.

“Every United fan would want him: great ability, great talent, scores great goals.

“If it’s possible then, yeah, great, I hope it happens. But I don’t see it happening.”

While he also added: “We need some good attacking players. I think the nucleus of the squad is quite good, there’s some really good young attacking players.

“It’s hard to know what’s available, would Gareth Bale be available? People like Neymar will they be available? I don’t know. These are the type of special players that I think United need.”

United have been linked with a whopping £200m move for the ex-Tottenham ace, as Jose Mourinho looks to add to the wealth of attacking talent at his disposal.

While Bayern Munich are also believed to be in the hunt to nab the two-time PFA Player of the Year.
