David: staying until 2005
Manchester United is pleased to announce that terms have been agreed with David Beckham on a new contract that will keep him at the club at least until the end of June, 2005.
Peter Kenyon, Chief Executive, said everyone at Manchester United was delighted that David had agreed a new contract. He explained: “As everyone knows, it has taken a long time for us to reach agreement on this new deal.
"The process of every player contract negotiation is different, and one of the unique aspects of David’s was understanding how his global image could best be utilised to the mutual benefit of Manchester United and David himself.
“We believe we have agreed a contract that does just that. It is important to point out that we never once doubted that David wanted to stay at United.
"He has made a big contribution to the club’s achievements over the past decade, and we all look forward to enjoying more success together in the coming seasons.”
Sir Alex Ferguson also expressed his delight at the news, saying: “I’m really pleased David has signed a new contract. It’s taken a long time to get here, and we’re all relieved it’s over.
"He is a terrific player who has played a big part in the team’s successes, and with his new deal signed we can now settle down to enjoying the next few years with David as an important part of the team.”
David Beckham said: “I would like to say a personal thank you to Peter Kenyon, David Gill and Sir Alex Ferguson for their vital support in helping me to finalise my contract before the World Cup.
"The club has bent over backwards to be fair in their dealings with me and I always knew that Manchester United were the only club I ever want to play for.
“I was never really worried about the contract, but I did want it all sorted out before the World Cup. Sir Alex had made it very clear that he wanted me to be an important part of the club’s future and his word was good enough for me.
"The Manchester United fans are part of my family and they have supported me through all the highs and lows of my career at Old Trafford. I know I owe them a big thank you and if anything the bond between myself and the club and the fans is stronger than ever before. All the players at Manchester United feel that special bond and there is not a day passes when I do not feel very lucky and privileged to be part of such a fantastic club.”

I always confident that he will sign. He is a true red and our future captain.
Dragged for a while, but Becks always wanted to sign, which was the important thing.
Great news. Wonder if he hit the £100,000 a week mark. Anyone know how much he's making? <img src="graemlins/nervous.gif" border="0" alt="[Nervous]" />
it was said to be around £90,000
