TALES FROM THE TABLOIDS

Last updated : 09 January 2005 By Editor

Daily Star claim that Middlesbrough have failed to sign Phil Neville.

The Sunday Mirror state that United expect to reach a compromise with Giggs.

As we revealed in Backbeat, the People claim that United are after Thomas Graveson. It is believed that we want him in the summer whilst Real Madrid's bid is for now. The People's sister paper, The Mirror say that he is off to AC Milan in the summer. The Sunday Express however say that we have made our move.

The People say that Beckham and Owen, and obviously Woodgate will be 'shipped out of the Bernabeu in the summer'. Seeing that Madrid is land-locked, will it be a yacht or a barge they travel on?
