Real Madrid star rules out move to United

Real Madrid and Germany star Mesut Ozil has ruled out a summer move to Manchester United in the wake of Paul Scholes' retirement.

United were interested in Ozil before he left Werder Bremen for Real last August, but the player's agent, Reza Fazeli, says there's no sign of thm coming back in for him as they begin searching for Scholes' replacement in midfield.

"We thank Manchester United for their interest but Ozil is fine in Madrid and has no intention of leaving," said Fazeli.

However, one of Sir Alex Ferguson's more bizarre recent captures, Bebe, is in talks with Turkish club Besiktas about a loan move.

Ferguson broke the habit of a lifetime buy snapping up the striker, who'd been playing in the Portuguese second division, despite never actually seeing him play.

The transfer has not worked out, with the 20-year-old making only seven appearances and scoring just twice.
