Not nervous: Beckham

While his starting place is uncertain,David Beckhams mere presence at Old Trafford could boost AC Milans attempts to overturn a 3-2 deficit against Manchester United in the Champions League.

The 34-year-old Beckham hasnt played a club match at Old Trafford since his acrimonious departure in 2003 and United midfielder Paul Scholes believes the fans will be pleased to see him again. United fans still love him for what he did for this club and he will get a fantastic ovation, said Scholes. He will need to be watched though. If you give him time and room on the ball there is no doubt he will pick players out. From free-kicks as well,his delivery is as great as ever.

Beckham is looking forward to returning to the club that helped him win six Premier League titles and a Champions League. Im not nervous,Im happy because for the first time after seven years I will return to Manchester and go on the pitch8230; I know what it means to be a Manchester United player, Beckham said.
