MY WORLD IS IN RUINS
From HARRY HARRIS in La Baule

David Beckham revealed the depth of his World Cup despair last night and
admitted he was destroyed from the moment Glenn Hoddle told him he was out
of the England team.

The Manchester United star now believes that his France 98 dream is over
before it ever began and is bitter and hurt by Hoddle's sudden rejection.

Beckham, shocked and confused after being dumped against Tunisia, said: "I
was devastated when the manager told me.

"He announced it in front of the rest of the team and I was really hurt. I
felt this feeling coming up in my stomach, my insides were turning over and
over so many times. It was an unbelievable sensation.

"I tried hard to hide my feelings because it happened in front of everybody,
but it wasn't easy. Then we went straight into an afternoon training session
and I had to carry on."

In the most emotional interview Beckham has ever given, he added: "I've had
a few days to think about things, but it isn't easy because I can't really
figure out what went wrong. I know the manager picks his final 11 and sticks
with it and there is nothing I can do or say about it, because it's his
choice."

Beckham's sinking feeling returned when he sat with the substitutes before
the start of the opening game. He said: "Standing there by the bench and
listening as the team sang the national anthem was just as hard as when I
was told I was not in the squad. It's so difficult not to be involved.

"It would have been nice to come on for five or 10 minutes at the end. It's
particularly upsetting because I played in every game leading up to the
World Cup Finals."

But Beckham gave Darren Anderton credit for a good display in the right
wing-back spot that seemed guaranteed to be his. He said: "Yeh, Darren did
well. All the midfield did well against Tunisia. But, hopefully, I'll get a
game."

Batigoal Decides On Sunday

Gabriel Batistuta will make a decision on where he plays his club football
next season on Sunday, according to a Spanish report which names United as
one of the leading three candidates for the Argentinian's signature.
Barcelona head the queue of clubs tracking the Fiorentina star and could
swing the deal by using World Cup defender Sergi as bait to the Italians.

The report claims United have offered £10 million to the Florence club in a
straight cash deal while Real Betis have emerged as a late bidder.


Winger Offer Set To Fail

United have reportedly made a move for Inter Milan winger Francesco Moriero,
although the Italian World Cup star looks set to agree a new deal to stay in
Serie A.
The 28-year-old was the right-sided star of Inter's march to the UEFA Cup
final and a place in next season's Champions' League, attracting major
interest.

But, despite United's offer of £3.5 million and roughly £1 million-a-season
in wages to the ex-Roma player he seems set to sign an extension to his
contract at the San Siro.
