Ferguson Expected Beckham Switch

David Beckham's former manager at Manchester United, Sir Alex Ferguson, is not surprised that the England winger looks to be heading back to Europe with AC Milan.

David Beckham is set to sign a short-term contract with Serie A giants AC Milan, primarily to help keep him in shape and in the England squad for forthcoming friendlies against Germany and, probably, Spain. If he features in thise two matches, he will break Bobby Moore's record for the number of caps won by an outfield player (108).

Former Los Angeles Galaxy coach Ruud Gullit is among those who think Beckham will eventually stay at the San Siro on a permanent basis.

And another of Beckham's former managers, Sir Alex Ferguson, reckons that the player may well abandon his lucrative contract LA Galaxy and accept that the standard of football in Major League Soccer is nowhere near what the former Manchester United star is used to.

"It is hardly a surprise," said Ferguson, who sold Beckham to Real Madrid in 2003.

"Going to the United States does not get you the kind of football he is used to.

"It is not the right level of football, therefore coming back into the mainstream of the game is not a surprise.

"People have been edging towards that quite a while now."

It is expected that Beckham will join Milan at the beginning of January.
