And now Bale has revealed what he said - and unfortunately for fans of the Premier League outfit it ISN'T that he is joining him at Old Trafford.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Bale said: "I just wished him good luck for the season.

"He has just signed for them and I hope he has a great season.

"I am sure he knows all about the spotlight.

"He has been playing for long enough. He has done very well in the Premier League and I am sure he will do great for them."

Lukaku completed a £75m move to Old Trafford earlier this summer, tasked with filling the boots of legendary Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
