MANCHESTER: Alex Ferguson hadir di Milan, kelmarin dengan misi mengintai, tetapi dia tidak banyak melihat perkembangan terkini bekas anak didiknya, David Beckham yang tidak beraksi ketika AC Milan menang 3-2 ke atas Udinese dalam Serie A.
Pemain England itu hanya hadir kira-kira 14 minit terakhir permainan di San Siro selaku pemain gantian.
Perkembangan itu sekadar memberi bayangan Beckham mungkin tidak akan turun ke gelanggang menentang Manchester United dalam pusingan kalah mati pertama Liga Juara-Juara Eropah, Selasa ini
Ferguson turut memerhati kelibat penyerang Udinese, Floro Flores dan Antonio Di Natale yang berjaya membuat gempuran secara kerap ke dalam benteng pertahanan Milan.
Ia harus memberi dia gambaran kasar untuk dieksploitasi kelak dengan prestasi memuncak Wayne Rooney dan rakan penyerang lain ketika ini. - Agensi
Sources in Milan claim David Beckham will start against former club Manchester United on Tuesday night, seven years after he left Old Trafford for Real Madrid.
AC Milan boss Leonardo has recently found no place for Beckham in his starting line-up and has refused to say whether he will start in the Champions League clash.
But an Italian source told Soccernet: "Beckham will start on the right side of midfield with Pato just ahead of him in a 4-3-3 formation. Beckham has played up front in a three and it hasn't worked - he is too old for all of that running around - but he is better off on the right of midfield, and we think he will start. That's what we have been told and that is what has appeared in the press today."
Beckham has been on the bench for the last two Serie A matches, but he could replace Gennaro Gattuso in an attacking midfield line-up alongside Andrea Pirlo and Massimo Ambrosini. It is expected that Alexandre Pato and Ronaldinho will then form a three-man attack with striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar.
Beckham was part of the Milan pre-match press conference on Monday and he said: "It is going to be an emotional game, but as a Manchester United fan, it's the first time I am going to want United to lose.
"As an AC Milan player, I want to beat Manchester United and to say that as a Man U fan is quite difficult. As much as it is emotional for me personally, it is important that we win the game. I am a Milan player and I want us to play well in the game and progress to the next stage."
On his clash with former manager Sir Alex Ferguson, Beckham said: "Sir Alex Ferguson was always a father figure to me. Always has been and always will be. No matter what people have said in the past about our relationship, whether we have had good times or bad times, I only remember the good times.
"He was the man that gave me the chance to play for a club that I'd always dreamed of playing for. We had so many successful times. For me, there are only good times and good memories from Manchester United.
"Clubs move forward, it was my time to leave Manchester United in 2003 and I moved on. I definitely don't hold anything against the manager, he really is an incredible man.''
