Looks as if he is gone to Real Madrid for £22m

Manchester United have accepted a £25million bid from Real Madrid for David Beckham.
The England captain will be unveiled at the Bernabeu on July 2 after agreeing a four-year deal with the nine times European Champions.
Beckham had been the central figure in the campaign in Joan Laporta's successful bid for the presidency of Barcelona but the midfielder has snubbed the Catalan club to sign for their arch-rivals. At Madrid he will link up with star players like Ronaldo, Raul & Luis Figo.
A statement from Manchester United said: "Manchester United today reached agreement for the transfer of David Beckham to Real Madrid for a fee of €35million." (approximately £25m).
"The deal is expected to be completed in July, conditional upon approval by the boards of Manchester United and Real Madrid, and on the provision of satisfactory payment guarantees. David Beckham has agreed personal terms with Real Madrid and expects to sign his new contract with the club on completion."

looks like it doesn't matter who plays on the right for madrid now, barca will hate them all. united did well to get 25million stg out of that in the end after barca stepped back, i'd say they wouldn't have minded makalele or portillo as part payment though. should see ronaldhino heading to old trafford within the week.
