However, Miss Beckham is said to be in such dire financial straits that she is claiming £164 a week in handouts. She gets £68 a week in income support alongside £96 weekly tax credits.

Capello is also convinced Wayne Rooney will not quit international football, despite being booed by the Wembley crowd on Wednesday night, his status clearly having hit a nadir after his dreadful World Cup performances, his abuse of England fans after the Algeria game and photographs of him smoking and urinating in public.

The Italian was criticised for his decision to announce that national icon David Beckham was “too old” to play for England, without telling the player himself ahead of their win against Hungary on Wednesday.

The statement appeared on the Real Madrid footballer’s official site, and on his Twitter and Facebook pages, in the early hours of this morning, reports News of the World.

As agreed with the baby’s mother, who prefers to have her identity kept confidential, my son will be under my exclusive guardianship. No further information will be provided on this subject and I request everyone to fully respect my right to privacy (and that of the child) at least on issues as personal as these are.

The message on Ronaldo’s Internet page does not name the mother, but says the child will be under his ‘guardianship’.

It has been rumored he has thought about leaving Europe and making L.A. his new permanent home, following in the footsteps of his idol, David Beckham.
