Former Man U team-mate warns David Beckham of rough ride ahead of dream Old Trafford clash

AC Milan midfielder David Beckham has been warned by former Manchester United team-mate Teddy Sheringham that his dream clash at the Old Trafford will be a rough ride.

Sheringham reckons that United will unveil anti-Beckham tactics against their former hero in Tuesday’s Champions League quarterfinal first-leg tie with Milan.

“Alex Ferguson knows everything about him. I’m sure he will make sure Patrice Evra plays right against him,” The Sun quoted Sheringham, as saying.

“Beckham is still a fantastic crosser of a ball and United will be out to deal with him,” he added.

Sheringham also believes that Beckham will go to this summer’s World Cup finals, even if he fails to regain his regular starting role with the Italian giants.

“I don’t think Fabio Capello will think of starting Beckham in the finals, so as long as he plays some games for AC I think he’ll be OK,” he said. Read more

David Beckham should celebrate goal against Manchester United, says Clarence Seedorf

It would undoubtedly be a moment with a resonance to match the time he ran almost the entire perimeter of the Old Trafford pitch, having buried the free-kick that took England to the 2002 World Cup.

Beckham, who is naturally averse to antagonism, is indicating that he will be more circumspect this time; after all, he does not want Sir Alex Ferguson to hurl another boot in his direction. Ferguson was at the San Siro last night to watch Milan’s 3-2 win over Udinese.

Beckham’s fellow Milan veteran, Clarence Seedorf, who has faced similar dilemmas when he has encountered former club Madrid in the Champions League, is Real advising his team-mate to revel in the pleasure of scoring.

“If he scores a goal, he should celebrate, and people should know that it’s not out of disrespect to a club where he was loved, and where he won important trophies,” the Dutchman said.

“It is a moment of emotion that you just express. He has coped with pressure his whole career, even if this is a very different situation. I hope people will applaud him.” Keep reading

David Beckham Pleased For Landon Donovan’s Success

Contrary to last year, when he joined Bayern Munich for a short spell, Landon Donovan hooked up with Everton in the English Premier League. There, the American international is in scintillating form, scoring one goal and notching two assists in six matches.

More impressive is Everton’s up-shoot in form since the 27-year-old arrived. In the 19 games the Toffees played before Donovan joined, the club earned 22 points, good for an average of 1.15 points per game. Since then, Everton has 13 points in six games, roughly 2.16 points per game.

The run has included wins over Chelsea and Manchester City and a respectable draw with Arsenal. His teammate’s good form hasn’t escaped the notice of Beckham.

“It’s great to see that Landon’s doing well,” Beckham said in a mixed zone following the Udinese win on Friday, as reported by Goal.com Italia. “I always said that given the chance, he’s a very good footballer.” Source

David Beckham prepared to start on the bench against Manchester United

“I always said when I came to the club that I never expected to start any games here,” he explains. “I’m not frustrated. My form and fitness, being back in Milan and working hard with the regime they have here, have been really good. I said that, to be part of an England squad, you have to be playing at the top level and at the top of your fitness. With Pato coming back in, it’s important, because we have some big games coming up. United is one of the biggest for me personally.”

Beckham is pragmatic, too, about separating his feelings from his responsibilities. “I’ve never had to do it before like this but I don’t think it will be a problem. I’ve played in many games. This tie’s not just about me playing against United – it’s about Milan qualifying for the next round of the Champions League and that’s the most important thing.” Keep reading
