" Beckham fee shocks Wenger"

Beckham is handed a Real Madrid shirt in Tokyo
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger believes David Beckham was sold to Real Madrid at a bargain price because of a clash between the player and Sir Alex Ferguson.
The Frenchman claims Beckham´s departure could signal the end of an era at Manchester United.

And Wenger admitted he was surprised by the decision to let the England captain leave for £25m.

" The personal problems between Beckham and Ferguson certainly lowered the fee," he said.

Wenger believes it is the end of af an era at Old Trafford but admits the Premiership champions have the funds to replace Beckham.

" One of the things that made Manchester great is going," said Wenger.
" And with the togetherness that that group of players had, and the things they had achieved, well, it is the beginning of a break-up for that group.
" For me, it was a surprise. But Manchester have the means to buy big.
" Even if Beckham had stayed they could have afforded to buy big, so with Beckham going, Manchester will lead the way in England now."

" Man Utd close in on Djemba-Djemba"

Djemba-Djemba had a good season with Nantes
Manchester United are poised to make a £3m offer for Cameroon international Eric Djemba Djemba.
Talks for the the 22-year-old Nantes midfielder are said to be at an advanced stage as Sir Alex Ferguson starts reshaping his side following the exit of David Beckham.

" The clubs have been in talks over Eric for a while," said the player´s agent Willie McKay.

" United have made their intentions clear and Eric is desperate to go."

A Nantes spokesman added of any potential deal: " It could certainly happen next week."

Djemba-Djemba is an industrious holding player and is renowned for his ability to break down attacks.

As a result of his tough-tackling style, he picked up one red and 11 yellow cards during the course of last season

A boyhood United fan, Djemba-Djemba could be the long-term replacement for Roy Keane, who has been beset by injury and is not expected to play in every game next season.

" Gunners fire the first shot of 2003/04 "

For a club, and a manager, supposedly above all the mind games, Arsenal and Arsene Wenger couldn´t resist a jibe at United after David Beckham´s £25million transfer to Real Madrid.

For all that Ferguson is often described as pugnacious, even petty, by his detractors, Arsenal are never too far behind in joining in the mind games.

And so today ( Friday) two key figures from the marble-halled Highbury have been quoted in the tabloid press having a dig at United´s decision to sell Beckham.

Wenger is first up - quoted in most of the papers - saying the departure of Becks could see the end of United´s dominant era of English football.

Wenger said in the Sun: " The personal problems between Beckham and Ferguson certainly lowered the fee.

" One of the things that made Manchester great is the togetherness the group of players had and what they had achieved. Well it is the beginning of a break-up for that group. For me, it was a surprise," he added.

And Pires, too, was keen to cast a question mark over the decision, saying: " Beckham has got a good deal for himself at Real Madrid and good luck to him. But maybe it is not so good for Manchester United.

" I think they have done good business by selling him but whether it is good for the team we will have to see. I do know that Arsenal will be stronger nest year and we will be close to them," the Frenchman added.

Waster
Arsene Wenger believes Alex Ferguson blundered in his sale of David Beckham. Manchester United picked up £25million from Real Madrid for the England skipper. But Arsenal boss Wenger said: " The personal problems between Beckham and Ferguson certainly lowered the fee." The Frenchman reckons United, who originally put a £35m tag on Becks´ head, missed out because clubs knew Fergie wanted rid of him.

Fergie´s laughing
A ravenous squadron of vultures will be circling over Old Trafford as early as August 16 as the Premiership fixture computer came up with a belter yesterday. Manchester United at home to bogey side Bolton on the opening day of the season. As Trotters´ boss Sam Allardyce said: " The lads will be relishing the start of the season even more now and confident of upsetting the odds at Old Trafford for a third successive year."

Nolan: I´ll jinx United
Kevin Nolan has vowed to make it three times unlucky for Manchester United on the opening day of the season. The Bolton midfielder, 20, has scored with Sam Allardyce´s men winning both.

Beckham´s transfer U-turn
David Beckham fired a parting shot at the men who forced him out of Manchester United - and then quickly insisted he did not mean it. Becks did a U-turn after admitting his £25million move to Real Madrid could have been handled better. Just a few hours later, he rushed out a statement insisting he had NOT intended a dig at United for engineering the megabucks deal. England´s skipper adopted an arms-folded stance at a Tokyo Press conference at 11.15am UK time and said: " Of course it could have been handled a bit differently. I think things went on that I wouldn´t be happy about." Yet by 2.30pm Beckham then insisted he had not tried to attack his former club. He said: " I understand reports are circulating that I was unhappy with some aspects of my transfer from Manchester United. That is not the case and I did not mean to give that impression."

Carlos: It was Yes in April
David Beckham told Roberto Carlos TWO MONTHS ago he would be joining Real Madrid. The Brazil star asked Becks if he was on his way as they left the pitch after Real´s European Cup quarter-final clash at Manchester United on April 23. Carlos revealed: " After the match at Old Trafford I asked David Beckham if he was joining Real Madrid and he indicated he would be."

Fergie blew Becks move
Arsene Wenger last night reopened his bitter feud with Sir Alex Ferguson by predicting the sale of David Beckham will signal the end of Manchester United´s " great" era. In a further dig at his fiercest managerial rival, the Arsenal boss claimed Real Madrid were able to sign Beckham on the cheap at £25million because of the fall-out between Ferguson and his star player. Wenger, who is in France for the Confederations Cup, believes Beckham´s departure will signal the disintegration of the current United team and may even damage their famous dressing-room spirit. He said: " One of the things that made Manchester great is the togetherness the group of players had and what they had achieved. Well it is the beginning of a break-up for that group. For me, it was a surprise."

We´re sick of Becks
Real Madrid had peace talks with their players yesterday to try to calm mounting tension over the David Beckham transfer. Some of the star-studded squad are angry the £25million deal for the England captain overshadowed the build-up to their title quest. Real need to beat Athletic Bilbao on Sunday to become Spanish champions, but senior players such as Raul and Fernando Hierro have voiced concerns that their battle to finish top could be scuppered by all the distractions surrounding the England captain´s transfer. And they believe signing him in the week before the season´s final game was crass and showed a lack of respect to those already at the club.

Kenyon: United had to sell or he would have gone for free
Manchester United chief executive Peter Kenyon last night denied that the club drove David Beckham out of Old Trafford against his will. As Beckham claimed from Tokyo that he would have wanted his departure to have been handled differently, Kenyon maintained that the England captain’s unwillingness to sign a new long-term contract had been the final straw.

Miss you! – Becks thanks United
David Beckham yesterday admitted for the first time how much he’ll miss Old Trafford. And he pledged to send a message of thanks to the fans once he has settled in at new club Real Madrid. “Manchester United fans have been a massive part of my career,” he said during his whistle-stop promotional tour of Japan.

It could all Beck-fire on Fergie
Robert Pires insists the sale of David Beckham could backfire spectacularly on Manchester United – and help Arsenal’s bid for the title. Midfielder Pires has watched the Beckham saga with growing interest and believes it could be good news for the Gunners.

FA to audit Becks deal
The FA will run an audit into the £25million David Beckham transfer from Manchester United to Real Madrid. It is certain the Beckham transaction will be chosen among those summer deals the FA plan to investigate.

An offer that he could refuse
David Beckham would have been offered a pay rise of only £7,000 a week on a four-year deal when Manchester United first approached the possibility of a new contract at a summit meeting on May 14. With the England captain already on £95,000 a week, it was hardly a tempting offer if Manchester United chief executive Peter Kenyon’s request for talks with Beckham’s agent, Tony Stephens, had been accepted.
Harry Harris, Daily Express

Waiting game goes on for Ron
Manchester United’s eagerness to start parting with the £25million generated by the sale of David Beckham has been frustrated after Ronaldinho’s proposed move from Paris St Germain was put on hold. United are vying with Barcelona, Newcastle United and the Paris club for the signature of the Brazilian World Cup winner, currently on international duty at the Confederations Cup in France.

Fergie: I blame Posh
Sir Alex Ferguson has laid the blame for David Beckham’s shock departure from Manchester United firmly on the shoulders of the England captain’s wife Victoria. The United boss said his star player changed completely after meeting the former Spice Girl.

Joke over for star’s pal Giggsy
Fellow stars at Manchester United were bemoaning David Beckham’s move last night – because they won’t be able to take the mickey out of the “flash cockney” any more. “He has always had lots of stick from us at United about the way he dresses,” said 29-year-old Giggs.

Kewell snubs Old Trafford talks
Harry Kewell seems set against joining Manchester United and is prepared to wait for Arsenal or Barcelona to come up with an offer that is acceptable to Leeds. Sportsmail can reveal that United agreed a fee for the Australia international two weeks ago, after which only preliminary discussions took place about Kewell’s personal terms.
