Figo casts doubt on Beckham deal

Luis Figo has ruled out joining Manchester United in an exchange deal for David Beckham and cast doubt on reports that the England captain would sign for Real Madrid.

Figo, who has three years of his contract to run, said that the rumour that he would leave for United this summer stemmed from "people who want to destabilise Real Madrid because they see that the team is doing well and could do great things this season".
