I’d Love To Play For Manchester United Again – David Beckham

David Beckham has reportedly admitted he would love to go back to the Premier League and play for former club, Manchester United.

The midfielder enjoyed phenomenal success during his time at Old Trafford, winning the Champions League, six Premier League titles and two FA Cups.

Beckham spent a decade at United and notched up almost 400 appearances, before moving to Real Madrid in 2003, and he has never made any secret of his fondness for the club where he made his name.

Now, speaking to the Daily Star, he has said that he would love to return to England to play for the champions again.

“I’d love to go back to United, because they are the team I support,” said the midfielder.

“For me, they are the best fans in the world. They’re the best club I’ve played for.

“Manchester United is always a team that any professional would want to play for.”

His remarks are unlikely to impress the Los Angeles Galaxy fans who have made their feelings towards Beckham well known since his return from a loan spell with AC Milan.

Despite this, Beckham is expected to return to Europe for another loan spell next year, in order to boost his chances of World Cup selection.

However, his most likely destination appears to be Milan again, rather than Manchester.

Macheda Set For Improved Manchester United Deal

Federico Macheda is set to sign an improved contract at Manchester United, according to the latest press reports.

The Italian youngster made a dramatic impact in a couple of substitute appearances last season, and has now scored his first goal of this campaign, against FC Seoul.

Now, the News of the World claims, he will be awarded with a new contract, through which he will earn about £20,000 per week. Sir Alex Ferguson now considers him to be one of the four first-team forwards.

Wayne Rooney, for one, believes that securing Macheda's future is essential, saying, "He's a great talent, he's got a lot of confidence and he can go on to become a really big player for Manchester United.

"He took his goal extemely well and he is learning all the time.

"He's got a big future here."

Manchester United aims to maintain pre-season form

BEIJING — Manchester United will aim for four wins out of four matches when it ends its Asian tour in China against Hangzhou Greentown on Sunday.

But the English champions will be without captain Gary Neville, who flew home for treatment on a groin strain before United beat FC Seoul 3-2 on Friday. United twice had to come from behind before Dimitar Berbatov's 65th minute header which proved the winner.

The Premier League giant earlier played two matches in Malaysia, winning 3-2 and 2-0. The second game was hastily scheduled because the hotel bombings in Jakarta forced the club to cancel its match in Indonesia.

Although the Red Devils have lost star winger Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid and Carlos Tevez to Manchester City, they remain massively popular in Asia. China's population of 1.3 billion people is a huge potential market for United and it is the club's fifth game in greater China in the past 10 years.

Hangzhou is in eastern China, south of Shanghai.

United manager Sir Alex Ferguson said he was pleased with the fan reception so far on the trip.

"It's typical of the whole Far East, we have a terrific fan base and there's a great fanaticism here," he told United's website.

Last month Manchester signed a five-year deal with Aigo, which will make and sell co-branded digital cameras, multimedia players and data storage devices for United around the world, and cellphone handsets in China.
