Be a Real star, Beckham

Roberto Carlos has invited David Beckham to join him at Real Madrid.

The brilliant Brazil left back also claimed he rejected a move to Manchester United three years ago and would do the same again now.

The comments came as Jon Holmes, whose company acts for Beckham, pre-empted the United midfielder's contract talks by saying: 'Everything is still in negotiation but I think wages of £100,000 a week will come fairly quickly.'

Carlos knows United can meet Beckham's demands. He said: 'They offered me a lot of money. I decided to say no and I would probably still say no. The English weather is not made for me and in the Premier League there is no show.'

Carlos is a fan of Beckham, however. He said: 'He is one of the best five players in the world. I am sure he would succeed at Real Madrid because we would do whatever he needed to be happy.'
