More on David thought-he-is-handsome Beckham's 'beautiful' penalty. Ever wonder where the ball he kicked so 'beautifully' is now? In the net? Erm, far from that. According to the papers, it was shot into the fans behind the goal post. And a lucky spanish caught it. He is a non-professional basketball player and caught it with one hand. He said that he was sitting in the Q row, so try imaging how far the ball went out. Wonder where the ball is now? It's sitting high at the guy's home in Spain.

I hope Manchester United is smart enough not to sell away one of their very few talents left, Ruud van Nistelrooy. News all around that he may join David Beckham in Real Madrid. I certainly hope not! What's Man u without him, Wayne Rooney can't even replace him I think. Here's what the papers say.

Van's our man
Manchester United have won their battle to hang on to goal ace Ruud van Nistelrooy. The Old Trafford outfit are convinced Real Madrid will NOT table an offer for the Dutch striker this summer. The Spanish giants have decided to give up on their bid to land the striker - and United were never going to sell anyway.

United lead Roon chase
Manchester United have moved into pole position in the race to sign Wayne Rooney. The England strike star is set to snub a new Everton deal - even though Goodison chiefs insist they are ready to offer the 18-year-old the richest contract in club history. United now believe they can pip Chelsea to his signature - especially after Rooney’s big pal Steven Gerrard decided to snub Blues billionaire owner Roman Abramovich and stay in the North West at Liverpool. The Old Trafford giants may struggle to raise the £40million-plus Everton will demand - unless they sell Ruud van Nistelrooy. But boss Alex Ferguson believes Gerrard’s decision to stay at Anfield will make them favourites as the midfielder, 24, would have helped Rooney settle in London.

If United flog Ruud they will be Roo-ined
The first great transfer battle of the summer was won and lost on Monday when, with all the enthusiasm of a man who had just decided he was going down with the Titanic, Steven Gerrard announced he was turning his back on Chelsea and staying at Liverpool. But now another desperate tug-of-war is looming which holds the outcome of the race for the Premiership title in its hands. The rumours linking Ruud van Nistelrooy with Real Madrid have been circulating longer than the whispers that Gerrard was on his way to Stamford Bridge. But if United fail where Liverpool succeeded and lose their top man to the Bernabeu predators, they know the consequences will strike deep at the heart of the club.

If Ruud really goes packing for real, there will be no more hotties left in epl. So hope fergurson don't sell. That's just part of the reason ok,I loved seeing him scoring. And his goals are as good as his looks.
