Football transfer rumours: Perisic and Dybala to Manchester United?
Today’s fluff would like to grow apple trees and honey bees The same player is on the front cover of the Spanish sport newspapers Marca, AS and Mundo Deportivo, and also on the back pages of most British nationals, and it’s Gareth Bale – or “Gareth Sale” as AS have it.
