Why did David Beckham end up leaving Manchester United for Real Madrid? GOAL takes a look at what happened.
Beckham won La Liga with Real, playing alongside the likes of Zinedine Zidane, Ronaldo and Raul, before later lining out in the colours of LA Galaxy, AC Milan and Paris Saint-Germain.
The legendary Scottish manager added: "The minute a Manchester United player thought he was bigger than the manager he had to go... David thought he was bigger than Alex Ferguson. There is no doubt about that in my mind." Ferguson, who had brought Beckham through the ranks, grew increasingly dismayed by the direction of the player's career, which he argued was getting "swallowed up by the media or publicity agents".
"He was around 12 foot from me," Ferguson recalled in his autobiography. "Between us on the floor lay a row of boots. David swore. I moved towards him, and as I approached I kicked a boot. It hit him right above the eye. The sight of the stricken, defiant Beckham serves as the defining image of the relationship breakdown which led to his departure from Manchester United.€35 million The midfielder joined Los Blancos on a four-year contract which was reportedly worth €6 million a year and expressed his happiness at making the move.
