(GSM) – Milan’s star player David Beckham has revealed that he is relishing his first return to Old Trafford as a player in the UEFA Champions league clash on Wednesday.
The Rossoneri head to Manchester aiming to overturn a 3-2 first leg deficit in their last-16 tie of the elite European competition.
Former Red Devils ace Beckham received a good response from the United fans at the San Siro for the first clash and he is looking forward to Wednesday’s return.
He told the Sunday Mirror: “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.
“The United fans were unbelievable in the first leg and I thank them for that. 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.
“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!”
