Fergie tells Beckham to £#%&! off

David Beckham's hopes of a dream return to Manchester United have been crushed by Sir Alex Ferguson, while Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger does not have room in his squad.

The former England captain is determined to see out the remainder of his contract with LA Galaxy, but he is also keen on a loan move to Europe in the close-season to ensure he remains in the thoughts of international manager Fabio Capello.

Beckham has said that he would only return to the Premier League with United, where he won six titles before moving to Real Madrid in 2003, and he has snubbed interest from Everton.

But United boss Ferguson has no interest in signing his former player because he thinks that at 35 years of age the midfielder is too old.

"I don't think so with David at his age," said Ferguson. "I have never signed a player at that age have I?"

Arsenal have also been linked with Beckham after he trained with the North London club in 2008 and Wenger has admitted that he would complete the signing, but there is not room in the Emirates Stadium squad.

The Gunners boss said in The Sun: "I would consider signing David Beckham, but we have (Theo) Walcott, (Samir) Nasri, (Tomas) Rosicky, (Andrey) Arshavin and (Emmanuel) Eboue who can play on the flanks."

Henrik Larsson?

Laurent Blanc?

Andy Goram?

He's coming back!

Eboue

'can play'

'on the flanks'

And people complain about Bebe.

I prefer his Christmas warning to the press at his conference yesterday.

Rather have Becks on the bench on a loan deal than the current number 7

The Fergie thing? He'd basically not talked to the press in 6 weeks.

Guessing by his obvious irritation at certain individuals I'd say it was. Dunno what they did though

Think the "final straw" was them paraphrasing him as saying that Torres is a cheat wasn't it?

Correct. Nft.

Don't think Galaxy are going to approve him going anywhere after all the time he's lost from injury playing in europe. Donovan has already said he's not going to Everton this season.

I would have thought he has an enormous amount of knowledge and experience that would be invaluable to lots of the younger players.

Hits a decent dead ball.

Hit's a consistently world class dead ball. He'd be excellent to have around the club, work with Nani, Rafael etc on their crossing, give him 20 minutes off the bench when we need a goal, push up and get as many free kicks/corners as possible.

Worth a punt i reckon. Plus that seems a hint from Fergie, suggesting he never brings in old guys, did he say it with a smirk on his face?
