When asked if Bale’s inclusion in the first-team on Tuesday meant anything, Mourinho said: “I think so.”

Bale displayed sublime form in the UEFA Super Cup final but failed to find the net.

And after the match, the Welsh forward was questioned about a potential switch to Man Utd.

Bale said: “I am just concentrating on my football. I am not listening to anything, I don’t read anything, obviously I get told bits and bobs.”

Gareth Bale suggested he wants to stay with Los Blancos in the post-match interviews

“I haven’t had any conversations (with Madrid), I am just concentrating on my football, I’m trying to get my fitness up as much as I can after pretty much not playing regularly for eight or nine months.”

“It is great to keep adding to the collection, it was a very difficult game but we got the job done and we’ve got another trophy and we move on.”
