IS HE STILL TALKING?

Steve McManaman, in the Spanish press, believes that Madrid
are favourites to progress to the Champions League Final:

“Madrid are favourites against Manchester, even the bookies
say that,

“Also we have the best team in the world. However, it will
be difficult and the hardest thing will be to play at Old
Trafford; the public press you very hard there.”

He also rejected any idea of him moving to Manchester as
part of a deal for David Beckham:

“It's impossible for me to go to Manchester, it would never
ever happen. I played for Liverpool and I would be like a
Madrid player moving to Barcelona. I don't miss England and
I am very happy here.”

Don’t worry Steve, it doesn’t seem too likely that you’ll be
asked.
