Beckham has been linked with Real Madrid
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has insisted that he would not consider selling David Beckham.
Speculation about Beckham's future has intensified in recent weeks with the England captain being linked with United's Champions League opponents Real Madrid.
But Ferguson ruled out any possibility of Beckham being sold as part of a rebuilding process at Old Trafford in the summer.
"It is totally out of the question. There is no way we would sell him - or any of our best players," said Ferguson.
Beckham has reportedly been targeted by several top European clubs since he was hit by a football boot kicked by Ferguson after the FA Cup defeat against Arsenal at Old Trafford.
The link with Real arose after the club's managing director Jorge Valdano was quoted as saying: "Beckham looks like the next big project for us."
United face Real in the Champions League quarter-final first leg at the Bernabeu on Tuesday.
And Valdano has insisted the Spanish giants are not interested in entering into a bidding war with Inter Milan for Beckham.
"I don't know if Inter really want Beckham," Valdano told The Sun newspaper.
"As far as we are concerned, Inter have the green light for Beckham because we are not going to enter any auction."
