PFA Chief Executive slams United

United confirmed that they had accepted an offer from ??? for David Beckham believed to be in the region of £30million, even though the Spaniard is not currently in charge of Barcelona.

Beckham, who is currently on holiday in the United States, has announced that he has no plans to talk to Laporta, and believes he is being used as a political prawn in the elections.

Taylor is disgusted by the clubs treatment of Beckham, saying: "I can't see him agreeing to go anywhere, as one of the world's finest players, never mind one of Manchester United's finest players, that doesn't suit him," stressed Taylor.

"It is not a way I'd like to be treated. He's one of our finest members and he's been so loyal to Manchester United over the years, giving them so much in terms of footballing ability.

"I just find it incredulous that a club of Manchester United's stature should be issuing official statements with a person who is not officially in charge of Barcelona.

"And to use David's name really, as has happened before in Spain and with other clubs, with the intent of winning an election for president of the club is wrong.
