United in for Spurs pair

Caught Offside reports that Fergie is planning a £60m swoop for Spurs winger Gareth Bale and Dutch midfielder Van der Vaart.

Both players have been instrumental to Tottenham’s success this season, with Champions League football unlikely, Fergie believes he can snap up the ambitious pair.

Bale is seen as a long term replacement for Giggs, who is now 38, but the lightening midfielder would not come cheap as Spurs would demand at least £30m for the Welsh International.

Van der Vaart has made an immediate impact at White Heart Lane, netting 12 goals and contributing to 8 assists. But Harry would expect up to 3 times the fee that he paid in the summer and could demand a fee around £24m for the 28-year old
