BECKHAM LOOKING FORWARD OLD TRAFFORD RETURN
Sunday, March 07, 2010
David Beckham is readying himself for a moving night when he returns to Old Trafford for his side's reverse Champions League fixture with former team Manchester United.
While he will undoubtedly be trying to help get the Italian giants past the Red Devils, it will be a poignant night for the former England captain, who spent 10 seasons with United, scoring 62 goals in 265 appearances.
"It was a very emotional night for me playing against United in Milan, but going back to Old Trafford is going to be even more so,” Beckham told The Mirror.
"The United fans were unbelievable in the first leg and I thank them for that," he continued. "It was amazing to hear their chants.
"Without a doubt it will be emotional to hear that from a crowd of more than 70,000 at Old Trafford.
Milan come into Old Trafford in the knowledge that a tough encounter awaits them following its 3-2 first leg defeat at the San Siro.
Without doubt, it will be a night of conflicting emotions for Beckham and his loved ones.
"I had family with me in Milan and they’ll be going to Old Trafford. My Dad’s a big United fan and this is probably the only time he won’t want them to win!"
