Football rumours: Real trouble - Bale to leave Madrid for Manchester United? Ronaldo or Benitez ultimatum? Chelsea chasing Southampton star Mane?

It was a bad weekend for Real Madrid, with a chastening defeat by bitter rivals Barcelona and rumours of departures.

Gareth Bale is said to be a Manchester United target once more, as reported by The Sun.

But worse still, Cristiano Ronaldo was said to be ‘furious’ after the 4-0 humiliation at the hands of Barcelona, and the Daily Telegraph say that the 30-year-old has issued an ultimatum to the club - either manager Rafael Benitez goes, or I will.

Meanwhile in the Championship, David Moyes has said he would like to take the Leeds job should new owners come in at Elland Road - again reported by The Mirror.

And The Guardian suggest that West Ham’s Manuel Lanzini is’honoured’ to be linked with a move to Liverpool.
