CHIGWELL – David Beckham won’t face Manchester United on Sunday after Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp admitted his club’s bid to sign the LA Galaxy star is still no closer to a successful conclusion.
Redknapp had hoped to bring former United midfielder Beckham back to the Premier League in a three-month loan deal and the 35-year-old has been training with Spurs since Monday. But Tottenham have been unable to agree terms with the Galaxy as the MLS side want Beckham back in California earlier than Redknapp had anticipated.
Spurs are still keen to come to an agreement but Redknapp conceded on Friday that there is no progress at present, meaning Beckham will not feature against his old club at White Hart Lane. “I’ve no idea what’s happening. We’ve only just got full permission that he can actually train with us. There’s been a bit of an issue over that,” Redknapp told reporters.
