GARETH BALE will wait to see who is named the new Real Madrid boss before deciding his future, according to reports.
The Champions League hero appeared to endure a strained relationship with Zinedine Zidane, who left him out of the starting line-up in Kiev.
Following his two-goal heroics against Liverpool, he appeared to issue a come-get-me plea, and Manchester United immediately appeared as the frontrunners.
However, the Sunday Express claim Bale, 28, is waiting to see who replaces Zidane as Real Madrid‘s next manager before making any final decision over his future.
The Frenchman stunned the footballing world when he called a press conference to announce his resignation from the Bernabeu.
And, as yet, there is no clear over who will replace him in the Real Madrid hotseat.
