Gareth Bale seems to have his name linked with a return to the Premier League in the every transfer window.

The Galactico at Real Madrid has faced an unsettled time in Spain to say the least, with his lack of consistency being a problem. However, one thing for certain is that Bale is living the dream. To quote fictional striker Gavin Harris from the film Goal II: 'Nobody Turns Down Madrid'. With it being the biggest team in the world, why would any player who has worked so hard to get there want to leave?

This is the dilemma Gareth Bale may or may not be experiencing right now. With Florentino Perez a big fan of his, and with a hat-trick in Zidane's first game as manager, you have to feel this is a player who should be the future number one in seasons to come. But should there be a bidding war, who would benefit the most and why?

Bale is no stranger to the Premier League, having made his name there playing for Tottenham Hotspur. His form, particularly in Spurs' Champions League campaign, in which he netted a hat-trick against Inter Milan, deservedly earned him a world record move to Real Madrid.

Yet through all this he still gets linked back to England every six months, and unfortunately for Spurs fans it is never back to the club he made his name.

The one club that does get mentioned is Manchester United. The Old Trafford club has not played consistently well since Sir Alex Ferguson left, and are in desperate need of a big name player, who knows the league, to fit in and fire them to a trophy or two.

They have already made attempts to do this, first signing Angel Di Maria for big money and then Radamel Falcao on loan, but both lasted no longer than one season at the club before moving on. The fans crave a new Ronaldo-esque player, though not Ronaldo himself. There is a real need for a player who can not only work within the team, but be called upon when needed to fire the team to glory.

Bale ticks all the boxes, due to being able to play on the wings and create chances for Rooney and Martial in the middle, and even pressing Depay into being a better player through providing competition. United would have to pay crazy money to get him, but he'd be worth every penny.

Another club often linked with Bale is Chelsea, who also have Real Madrid sniffing around one of their own players - Eden Hazard. This season Hazard has looked out of sorts and not convincing of a transfer to Real Madrid, however a few players do this when being linked to a club to try and force through a transfer.

Cristiano Ronaldo himself subconsciously did it in his last season at Manchester United. But Bale at Chelsea would be another transfer that could make Chelsea dangerous again. Chelsea, like Man United, have the money to spend on the big names, and Bale would be no exception. In a Chelsea shirt he could link up well with Diego Costa and have freedom of the midfield, scoring as well as setting up goals.

Should Madrid decide that Bale is up for sale, then Manchester United would surely put themselves at the front of the queue, or find themselves frustrated if Bale was ever used as part of a swap deal for Eden Hazard.

Either way, Real Madrid's recent transfer ban means any possible deal involving players going in or out of the Bernabeu club will likely have to happen this month, otherwise both Man United and Chelsea may have to wait a couple of windows before getting their man; because it's highly unlikely Zinedine Zidane will sanction the sale of one of his best players without being able to adequately replace him first.
