Posted: Thursday March 27, 2003 7:58 AM MADRID, Spain (AP) -- Real Madrid's Portuguese midfielder Luis Figo ruled out joining Manchester United in an exchange deal for David Beckham and cast doubt on reports that the England captain would sign for the Spanish powerhouse.

Madrid heads the Spanish league with 11 rounds of matches remaining and meets United in the Champions League quarterfinals on April 8 and 23.
