    Becks has finally given a quote



    -------------------
    David Beckham says that he wants to stay at Manchester United, but is prepared to leave if the club no longer want him.

    The Reds winger has been the subject of intense press speculation about his future over the past few weeks, with Real Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, AC Milan and Inter Milan said to be fighting over his signature. Until he hears any differently, he's a United player says tha man himself.

    "These rumours have been going on for two months now," Beckham told the Los Angeles Times.

    "About a month ago, it was Real Madrid and now it's Barcelona.

    "But I'm a Man United player. I'm contracted to Man United for another two or three years, I think. As long as they want me, then I'll stay.

    "But I've never said that I'd never move away from Manchester, and I've never said that I'd end my career there.

    "There will always be changes at a team like Man United. With all the big teams there's always going to be changes - because you look to strengthen the team whether you win three trophies or you win one.

    "There's always going to be changes."

    Reports of a deterioration of his relationship with Sir Alex Ferguson have also been blown out of all proportion, insists Becks.

    "Despite what people say about me and Sir Alex Ferguson, he's been a father figure for me," he said.

    "I've been at Man United for twelve years now and without him I wouldn't be the player or the person that I am today, because he had the confidence when I was 18 years old to put me in the first team and a number of other young players in the first team.

    "Of course you have your ups and downs with any boss in any job, but it's just a little bit more highlighted with me and him."
