Milan teammate Beckham feels Kaka is better off playing at a big club rather than a rich one
The new owners of Manchester City are trying everything they can to make the team one of the best in the English Premier League.
Last week, they offered AC Milan playmaker Kaka a whopping deal of 100 million pounds and are going out of the way to make sure the Brazilian, nominated for the World Player of the Year for 2008, come to England.
Yesterday, manager Mark Hughes even bought Craig Bellamy, in the hope that his pace and ability to create space will make him a great foil for Kaka and help the side climb the success ladder.
Only United matters
But David Beckham, who was a star at City's more famous rivals Manchester United and is now on loan at Milan from LA Galaxy believes that City will always be Manchester's second side after United and great players like Kaka should be looking at playing with great teams, The Sun reported.
"I only care about Manchester United personally.
"City have been bought by a company now and there's a lot of money there. But for me, United are the only team in Manchester. Kaka doesn't need my advice. He will decide what he wants to do," he told The Sun.
"It's not always about money. It's about playing for the best team, playing with the best players in the world and winning trophies and being successful. "He's one of the best players in the world and every Milan player is there to support him and encourage him, but we will see. We want him to stay." Beckham also said suggestions that Kaka was waving goodbye to the San Siro crowd when AC Milan beat Fiorentina 1-0 on Saturday had no weight behind it.
"That was because it was a tough night. Kaka was showing that he appreciated them," he said.
Meanwhile, manager Hughes warned City's fans that deal will not be wrapped up quickly. Speaking after watching his side defeat Wigan Athletic 1-0 at Eastlands on Saturday, Hughes said: "It's well documented that a delegation went to Milan to try and investigate the possibility of bringing an outstanding player to this club.
"It's very early in the discussions in that regard. From my point of view I'd love to have the opportunity to work with such a talented player.
"But it's not a simple transfer. It's not a case of just talking to the club, talking to the player and getting the deal done within 24 or 48 hours.
