Nicholas Gray: Good to see Bale back. Never really got the credit he deserved in Spain. Just hope Jose knows how to utilise him best.

Lewis Keeffe: Bale wont fail.

Mason Greenwood replaces Daniel James.

Mason Greenwood is coming out for the second half. Didn't Ole Gunnar Solskjaer have a pop at England saying he needed a rest?

Only Cristiano Ronaldo (318) and Karim Benzema (235) were involved in more Real Madrid goals than Gareth Bale (162) between 2013 and now.

Bale is one of only 21 players to score 100 goals or more for Real Madrid. Only 16 managed more than Bale’s 105. Brazil legend Ronaldo scored 104 goals for Real.

Opposition teams will be worried about facing Tottenham with new signing Gareth Bale, says MOTD pundit and ex-Spurs midfielder Danny Murphy.

As Gareth Bale returns 'home' to Tottenham, BBC Sport take a look at other players who have returned to former clubs.

Mason Greenwood is out having a pretty vigorous warm-up.

Greenwood is changed and ready to go. Guess he is coming on for the second-half.

Chemist Paul: Well that was pretty awful. Pogba has been incapable of completing a pass today, and James looks utterly out of his depth. Would love to see Van de Beek and Greenwood replace them both at halftime.

Anthony Marshall: Different summer transfer window, same old problems and excuses from Manchester United. Being left behind by rivals who are strengthening very well. Without any more additions United will not finish in top four. Fans getting tired of a reoccurring story each year.

In his final season at Spurs (2012-13), Gareth Bale was involved in 37 goals in all competitions (26 goals, 11 assists). Only Robin van Persie (39) and Juan Mata (49) were involved in more for a Premier League club.

Only Harry Kane has ever scored more Premier League goals in a season for Spurs than the 21 Bale managed that campaign.

Those 21 goals were worth 24 points to Tottenham. Only three other players in Premier League history have seen goals worth more (Alan Shearer x3, James Beattie and Robin van Persie).

Sorata: Spurs will be hoping Bale will have the same effect on them that Rodriguez has had at Everton, it will all come down to whether Mourinho can play him in a way that brings out his best like Ancelotti does for James.

Kev Mcveigh: Bale will certainly be a challenge for many PL defenders, but he may also be too good for some of his new teammates to keep up with.

Leeds United

Leeds' Mateusz Klich speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live: "It was very entertaining game for the supporters watching on the TV. Unfortunately we let them back into the game and it was our mistake. We didn't need that.

"We should have just finished the game at 4-1. At the end we won and that's what matters. It was a very important three points. I hope we can build on that.

"It's dangerous. Obviously fans want to see attractive, offensive football on the TV but I would rather save my nerves and win the game more comfortably. But football is a game for the supporters, a game for the fans and I hope they like it.

"I just can't wait for them to come back to the stadium. I am sure there is a lot of people watching on TV. I can imagine 0-0 is boring for the fans. I would rather win!"

Only three players have ever scored more European Cup final goals than Bale's three - Real legends Alfredo di Stefano and Ferenc Puskas (seven each) and Cristiano Ronaldo (five).

He scored against Atletico Madrid at the end of his first season and a double, including that bicycle kick, against Liverpool in 2018. He also netted in the 2016 shootout against Atletico.

He is one of seven players to score at least twice in a single Champions League final, the only British player to do it and the first substitute to manage it.

Altaf Shaikh: Same Old Utd. So so stale, no flair, am bored.

The half-time whistle goes. It wasn't great for United but Palace are on their way to a second win in two league games.

Scott McTominay fouls two Palace players in the space of five seconds. I think they just need the break now - and some freshening up.

Jordan Ayew almost doubles Palace's lead. He cuts in from the left and hits a powerful effort which David de Gea palms over the bar.

We're into four minutes of stoppage time.
