That’s according to The Independent’s Miguel Delaney amid speculation linking the wingers with moves to Old Trafford.

Bale faces an uncertain future at Real Madrid with Bernabeu chief Florentino Perez looking to generate funds to buy Kylian Mbappe.

And a return to the Premier League has been widely touted, with United his most likely destination if he leaves Spain.

Perisic, meanwhile, is thought to be the fourth name on the wish list of targets Jose Mourinho gave to Ed Woodward.

However, talks with Inter Milan are yet to have a positive outcome with Luciano Spalletti desperate to keep hold of him.

Delaney has now offered his verdict on United’s chances of getting the pair on-board before August 31’s transfer deadline.

On Twitter, a fan asked him: "Any transfer news on the Man Utd front Miguel? Seems pretty quiet at the minute."

And Delaney replied: "Nothing concrete at the moment. Perisic and Bale close to impossible."

Delaney was then accused of previously stating a deal for Perisic could be wrapped up within hours.

And he clarified his understanding of the situation regarding the Croat, adding: "Never said that. Said it was close. It was."
