Beckham ‘shock’ at del Bosque departure

DAVID BECKHAM heads into the final lap of his promotional tour of the Far East admitting the departure of Vicente del Bosque came as a “shock” to him.

The England captain will complete his £25million transfer from Manchester United to the new Spanish champions next week.

Real won the Spanish league following a 3-1 win over Athletic Bilbao on Sunday, but it appears coach del Bosque’s failure to win the Champions League this season has prevented him earning a new deal.
