Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho is waiting for a public declaration from Gareth Bale before moving for the Real Madrid star.
Don Balon says Mourinho has urged Bale to go public with his intention to leave Real Madrid to force through a move to United.
Mourinho remains confident of sealing a sensational deal to sign the Wales international before the transfer window closes.
But the Old Trafford boss wants Bale to speed up the process by declaring his intention to leave the Bernabeu.
