| Manchester United have not given up on signing Real Madrid's Gareth Bale |
That is according to Sky Bet, who have cut the odds of the former Tottenham winger joining Manchester United from 5/1 to 7/2.
Red Devils boss Louis van Gaal is keen to land the Wales international as a replacement for Angel Di Maria, who is closing in on a £44m move to Paris Saint-Germain.
Reports suggest United will have to spend in excess of £95m to land the 26-year-old this summer, having joined Real for £10m less just two years ago.
Van Gaal has stressed the importance of signing players with speed and creativity if they are to challenge for the Premier League title this season.
United are also expected to trigger the release clause of Barcelona winger Pedro, believed to be worth £22m.
"We're not on schedule to be champions because we need speed and creativity at the front," the Dutch tactician said.
"Whether we can win the title [in the next two seasons] is dependable if we can buy players with speed and creativity.
"The hardest decisions are always which players you buy and which have to go. We know the Premier League is different to all the other leagues and players have to adapt."
