David Beckham 'excited' by return to Manchester
C Milan star David Beckham says he is excited to play his former team at Old Trafford on Wednesday but is well-aware that his allegiances lie with the Italian side.
Manchester United are scheduled to face AC Milan in the Champion's League last 16 second-leg tie, Milan go into the match needing to overturn a 3-2 deficit.
Beckham is still revered by United fans and his return has caused a stir in the city, the 34-year-old is keeping his cool: "I'm not nervous.
"Coming back to Manchester as a Milan player is exciting. It will be a tough game for us but nothing is impossible." stated the midfielder.
Doubt still lingers over whether Beckham will be in the starting line-up for the match, however, if he does start the game then it will be the first time that he has played at the ground since he left the Red Devils for Real Madrid back in 2003.
United will be re-invigorated by Wayne Rooney's return to fitness, the England international is considered among the best players in the world and scored twice in the first leg against Milan
Alex Ferguson is among those who are unable to predict whether Beckham will be starting for the Italians.
"I am finding it difficult to pick their team, I don't know whether Beckham will start," said the Scot.
"I have not got that down in my conclusions about their team. He has not started a game since the first leg, so it is difficult to say what impact he will have on the game.
"But he will be there and the one thing you have to be aware of is his delivery of the ball, which is fantastic. That is the threat. There are a lot of threats in their team of course, but we are well aware of David's."
Paddy Power and Sky Bet offer 9/2 odds that AC Milan will triumph over Beckham's former club.
