Gareth Bale has reportedly still not held face-to-face talks with Zinedine Zidane since the Frenchman returned to take charge of Real Madrid.

The Welsh forward has a fractious relationship with Zidane, who was reappointed by Los Blancos on March 11 following the dismissals of Julen Lopetegui and Santiago Solari.

Zidane has started Bale in six of Madrid's last eight matches, but the 29-year-old has made little impact and has been strongly linked with the exit.

However, the player's agent Jonathan Barnett has ruled out a move away, even if his client is frozen out of the first-team picture next season.

Spanish publication Marca claims that Bale has not even discussed his future with his manager, despite the fact that the transfer window reopens in less than a month's time.

Manchester United have previously held an interest in the former Premier League star, it is claimed, while a return to former club Tottenham Hotspur is also believed to be a possibility further down the line.
