Moyes, who left Everton for United, has since struggled to establish himself having had short spells at Real Sociedad, Sunderland and West Ham since his Old Trafford dismissal.But things could have been a lot different for Moyes had Bale not moved to the Bernabeu for a then world-record fee of 85million and the 55-year-old claimed United believed they had a chance of nabbing the ex-Tottenham star from Madrid’s grasp.Speaking to beIN SPORTS, Moyes said: “By the time we got to the end of the transfer window, we always thought we had a chance of getting Gareth Bale.Bale eventually completed his move to Madrid in August 20132
