I have no idea where he going to fit in their team. Up top (Tevez, Adebayor, Bellamy), midfield (de Jong, Barry, SWP, Petrov, Ireland), seems already very packed 

David Beckham admits Manchester United will always be his first love as he prepares for an emotional return to Old Trafford with AC Milan.

The England midfielder can expect a rapturous reception from the club's faithful as Milan face United in the last 16 of the UEFA Champions League.

Beckham, a product of the club's famed youth system, left United in 2003 to join Real Madrid after making 265 appearances in 12 trophy-laden years in Manchester.

Following a surprise move to LA Galaxy his best years appeared to be behind him but two subsequent loan switches to Milan have catapulted him back into the spotlight, for football reasons, and rejuvenated his international career.

Ahead of what are likely to be an engaging couple of games he has spoken of what it will mean to play against a club forever close to his heart.

Emotional return

"When I was at Real Madrid it just never felt right to come back to Old Trafford," he told Inside United magazine.

"The thought of playing United always gives me that sick feeling because I missed the club so much.

"The first few years away were hard and there were a lot of things I missed. It was the club I always wanted to play for and I loved every minute of my time there.

"I always wish I was part of Manchester United, it's just in me. Even though I'm not there any more, I'm still a huge fan and watch every game where possible.

"I always want them to do well and be successful because the club still means so much to me.

"When the draw was made it just felt it was the right time to go back. There isn't one player I'm particularly looking forward to facing. I'm just looking forward to being a part of it all and savouring the atmosphere in both games.

"Returning to Old Trafford is going to be special and a very emotional night. I've spoken to Gary Neville since the draw and we both believe it's going to be a great tie."

Wayne Rooney says Manchester United are firmly focused on becoming the first ever side to win four league titles in a row.

United are the only side to twice win three consecutive top-flight crowns, and they are now looking to make history.

Rooney is now hoping he can help United into the record books.

"I hope we can kick on and win the title," said Rooney.

"We've won the last three and nobody's won four in a row, so hopefully we can break the record.

"It's closer this year and more exciting.

"Chelsea and Arsenal are there. Liverpool have struggled but are a quality team and will be competing at the end of the season."

Rooney himself is enjoying a wonderful season and is already on 20 league goals - a career best.

"I've never really scored that many goals from inside the six-yard box over the years but I've been working on that - and thankfully it's starting to pay off," said Rooney.

"We did a test to see who had the hardest shot at Man United a couple of years ago and it was me and Scholesy.

"As a football fan, you like to see goals flying in from all over the place, but I've not really scored that many great goals. They've all been fairly similar!

"My favourite goal would be my second against Croatia at Euro 2004. I always like watching that goal.

"It was a good move, I played a one-two with Michael Owen, was one-on-one with the keeper and put it away. I remember the feeling afterwards. It felt like we could go on and win the competition."

Rio Ferdinand is to appeal the extra game of the four-match suspension meted out to him by the Football Association.

The England defender came through his first game back since a lengthy injury lay-off unscathed against Hull City last month, but his return was soured when video footage caught him swinging an arm at Craig Fagan in an off-the-ball incident.

Manchester United appealed the three-match ban issued to him for violent conduct in a move that allowed him to play against Manchester City in last week's Carling Cup semi-final, only to be hit with an extra game after the FA deemed his action 'frivolous'.

Ferdinand missed Sunday's win at Arsenal and is also set to be absent from games against Portsmouth at home and away trips to Aston Villa and Everton.

He is not eligible to contest the mandatory three-game ban, but he is entitled to appeal against the additional suspension.

If successful he could figure in the Everton match at Goodison Park but should the FA again deem his challenge frivolous then an additional game could be added onto his suspension - thus ruling him out of the Carling Cup final against Aston Villa.

Sir Alex Ferguson is understood to support the appeal with the likelihood being Wes Brown and Johnny Evans will be rewarded for their efforts throughout the tournament with starting places at Wembley in any case.

"We did a test to see who had the hardest shot at Man United a couple of years ago and it was me and Scholesy.

February 02, 2010

Nani has finally proved he can be the RIGHT man for the job at United.

2010 has so far been a pivotal year for the 23-year-old Portuguese winger.

Prior to the New Year, it seemed the best the £18m buy from Sporting Lisbon could hope for was a January transfer window route out of Old Trafford.

And if he had hoped that Cristiano Ronaldo's exit to Real Madrid last summer would be his ticket to his favoured right wing role, he was wrong.

Instead, the road to that potential salvation became more clogged than ever before.

Having largely had to play on the left side in order for Ronaldo to occupy his favoured right wing berth, Nani suffered as a consequence.

But candidates to fill the vacancy left by the £80m export were swiftly imported by Sir Alex Ferguson.

And when Nani did play, he was stuck on the opposite flank to the one he craved.

On top of that, he had to endure £16m summer signing Antonio Valencia making rapid progress on the right and earn growing plaudits from Fergie.

There was even a spell when the previously unknown Gabriel Obertan was flavour of the month in Ronaldo's old position.

The young £3m Frenchman made a brief impact to further push the then-injured Nani's nose out of joint.

Nani progress

Indeed, Nani ended 2009 further down the pecking order than when Ronaldo was there!

With few fans championing his cause, the Portuguese star appeared to be in the wilderness with a move away from Manchester looking a certainty.

What a difference a fortnight makes.

A stunning 15-day spell has transformed Nani. Starting against Burnley on the left, he began his rehab but when he switched to the right flank against Hull and City in the Carling Cup semi-final second leg, he was a revelation.

Confirmation that the ugly duckling was turning into a swan came when Fergie picked him at Arsenal on Sunday.

It was Nani's third match in nine days but justified his selection above Valencia with an awesome display.

The ineffective over-elaboration and failed deliveries has been replaced by effective artistry and a first class and fast delivery.

Meanwhile, Obertan has been forced out of the picture to such an extent his agent felt the need to insist he didn't want away from Old Trafford.

So has Nani picked up on Valencia's direct wing play to transform his own fortunes?

"I don't think he's learned from Valencia," said Fergie. "He's always had that as he is a very good crosser of a ball.

"When he plays on the left maybe he does that (over-elaborates) but the right side is his natural position."

Ferguson added: "It is amazing when you talk to the players - they all want him to play. They all think he is fantastic. We are getting consistency from him now. We have a really good player.

"We wondered if he would feel tired after three games in a week but he never showed that until the last 10 minutes.

"But it gives me a massive decision now between Nani and Antonio Valencia."

ah yes, just like what i said in my earlier post, 30 goals it is. of course, the more the better. but as much as we want him to score more, he should just do the best he can to reach 30 or more.

you're my first love too, beckham

no comments on ferdinand.

hey is it true that we will have 100 million to spent like this summer ? heard if from david gill. true ? if yes, what on earth are we gonna do we that kind of money ?
thankfully some of our dept has been covered. everything still under control, not to worry.

It's a rare breed sadly. Robben would have been perfect. Only 26. If only we had gotten him back then and he's not so injury prone..
