A former Tottenham team-mate of the Wales international believes Old Trafford could be the perfect place for both of them this summer

Gareth Bale has been urged by former Tottenham team-mate Dimitar Berbatov to consider a move to Manchester United, with the Red Devils a potential â€œsolutionâ€ to his problems.

Wales international forward Bale continues to see his future at Santiago Bernabeu called into question.

Zinedine Zidane is considered to have lost faith in the 29-year-old, which is edging him towards the exits.

A Premier League return has been mooted for some time, with Old Trafford touted as a potential landing spot.

Ex-United striker Berbatov feels the Red Devils could be the perfect match for a proven performer facing unfair criticism in Spain.

Berbatov told Betfair: â€œThe transfer rumours are already going andÂ Gareth BaleÂ has been heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford.

â€œI like him a lot and for me he is getting too much criticism which is not fair. He has scored lots of goals, and important goals, too.

â€œHe is anÂ unbelievable playerÂ and if he can't find that appreciation in Madrid then come back to England where the fans know him and he is used to the football that is played.

â€œThe only question is where to go, who wants to pay the fee and wage, but the big teams are not suffering from money problems so I'm sure a solution could be found!

â€œI'm curious to see which players come to United and while we can speculate Ole is in charge and hopefully the new recruits will be the right player for the team, not just to please the fans.â€

While telling United to consider Bale, Berbatov also believes that he should be among those in the frame to fill a director of football post at Old Trafford.

The Bulgarian added: â€œAfterÂ Rio FerdinandÂ last week, Darren Fletcher is the latest name linked with theÂ Director of FootballÂ role but why not Dimitar Berbatov? I have the degree in Sports Management (as well as coaching badges) for starters.

â€œThis isÂ an important position, you are the link between the manager and the team and directors. United have to find someone who can do this the right way.

â€œI know about the job, how it is performed and it's on my mind butÂ you need to be readyÂ for this.

â€œYou can't expect to be given this role purely because you are an ex-player and United will make a mistake if they recruit solely on that basis.â€
