Man Utd boss: Becks not world class

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has taken a thinly veiled swipe at David Beckham, insisting he is not a world class player.

The United boss snubbed the Real Madrid star by saying there are four great stars at the Bernabeu - and that Beckham is not one of them.

Ferguson said: "I can't look beyond Real Madrid this year because they have four great players who - on an individual basis - can win a game: Ronaldo, Zidane, Raul and Figo."
