Manchester, May 07: England skipper David Beckham put an end to all talk of a big-money move to Real Madrid yesterday by announcing that he is staying with Manchester United. "My feelings for Manchester United, the club itself, the players, the fans and the backroom staff, are as strong as ever," said the 28-year-old who has just helped United to their eighth English Premiership title in 11 years. "There's been lots of stuff in the media about me and my future, but I can honestly say that there has been no contact between either me or my adviser, with Real Madrid, or any other club.
"I know that the chief executive Peter Kenyon and the manager are saying they want me to stay, and that's good enough for me. My affection for the club has never changed from the day I signed for United," Beckham told the Manchester Evening News.
