Bale 'happy' at Madrid amid Man United links

Real Madrid star Gareth Bale insists he is happy at
the European champions and has no plans to leave
despite speculation over his future.
Bale, who won his third Champions League at
Madrid on Saturday, has again been linked with a
move to Manchester United this off-season.
But the Wales international, 27, said he was
committed to the LaLiga giants, having last year
signed a contract until 2022.
"I've signed a long-term contract at Madrid," Bale
said.
"My family is happy and I am happy so, yeah, we
will continue what we are doing. We are winning
trophies and I am happy."

Bale made just 17 league starts for Madrid in
2016-17 after undergoing ankle surgery late last
year.
A calf injury also saw him almost miss the
Champions League final, but he made his return off
the bench in Saturday's 4-1 win over Juventus.
"I need to go on holiday and rest, and come back
stronger next season - mainly for my ankle just to
get it properly recovered," Bale said.
"Then I'll obviously do some work in the off-
season to get it stronger and ready for next season
so I'll be firing on all cylinders."
