Football: Becks aims to finish career at Madrid.

ENGLAND captain David Beckham wants to end his career at Real Madrid after revealing the Spanish giants and former club Manchester United as the only two clubs he has ambitions to play for.

The 31-year-old admits being sold to Real in 2003 left him in tears and, despite being linked with a return to the Premiership, would not want to play for another English club apart from United.

"There are other great clubs in England of course, there's Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool," said Beckham. "It's here (Madrid) or Manchester United, that's the way I feel about the situation to be honest.

"The only club I would've ever have gone to apart from Manchester United was here."

When asked he wants to end his career at the Bernabeu, where he has failed to win a trophy in his three-year stay so far, Beckham said: "I think so because at the end of my career I want to be known as a player that's played at a top level, for the best teams, and they don't come much better and bigger than Manchester United and Real Madrid."

Beckham was part of the United side that dominated domestic football in the 1990s and he also won the treble in 1999, but by 2003 his relationship with manager Sir Alex Ferguson appeared to put his future at the club in doubt. "That's what hurt at the time because, as I said, everyone knows that I'm a Manchester United fan, Manchester United mad," he said.

"I think at the time, when I'd signed for Real Madrid, and when I got home, I think I actually cried because it was Manchester United, it was a team that I'd been at for my whole life."
