The People says United are on the move with a complex £100million deal for the release of Real Madrid star Bale - with De Gea heading to the Bernabeu.
Real have already made it clear to United that they will pursue De Gea in the summer with the Old Trafford giants' transfer negotiator Ed Woodward valuing the 24-year-old Spaniard at a staggering £50m - which would be a world-record fee for a goalkeeper.
European champions Real remain interested despite United's huge valuation for a player who cost £17.8m when he joined them from Atletico Madrid in 2011.
But for the deal to succeed United will demand Wales star Bale - and they're willing to put De Gea plus £50m on the table to make it happen.
United know it's unlikely De Gea will stay out of Madrid's clutches for too much longer with the Spaniards privately acknowledging he's a top target.
Current number one and national keeper Iker Casillas is 34 in May but Spain's national team see De Gea as their future - and so do Real.
