England veteran David Beckham said yesterday he was delighted to be back in Milan and looking forward to pitting his wits against former club Manchester United in the Champions League.
"I am happy to be here ... It is great to be back," Beckham told a news conference in Milan as he prepares to begin a second loan spell with AC Milan after ending his latest stint with Los Angeles Galaxy.
"My experience with the club was so special for six months. It was one of the best six months of my career. I miss just being in Milan," said Beckham.
On returning to Old Trafford for the Champions League round of last 16 encounter in February, Beckham went on: "I have never returned to Manchester as a player in seven years. It is going to be incredible. It will be a emotional night."
But he added he will put his emotions to one side once he is pitchside.
"It is business. We want to win the game."
