Barthez Puts Pen-to-Paper at Marseille
Marseille have confirmed the signing of Manchester United's out-of-favour goalkeeper Fabien Barthez, who will leave the Red Devils for the French outfit at the end of the season.

The eccentric Frenchman recently had his contract terminated at Old Trafford after falling out-of-favour to Tim Howard and Roy Carroll in-between the sticks.
