Cooke: Beckham’s price tag a disgrace

DAVID BECKHAM’S multi-million dollar move to Los Angeles Galaxy has been branded “a disgrace” by a former Manchester United youth team-mate.

Terry Cooke, now with the Colorado Rapids, shared digs with Beckham as a teenager when they were trainees at Old Trafford — and they will be rivals in Major League Soccer when the former England captain joins his new club in the summer.

While Cooke bears no personal animosity towards Beckham, he is angry that MLS have sanctioned a five-year deal for the 31-year-old midfielder worth a reported €193m.
