Manchester United defender Patrice Evra: Bring on David Beckham
Patrice Evra will help roll out the Old Trafford welcome mat for David Beckham - and then try to boot the former Manchester United star out of the Champions League.[LNB] Evra did not join United until two-and-a-half years after Beckham had left to join Real Madrid, but is well aware of Beckham's status and will reserve the warmest of welcomes for a man he will probably end up marking in the first leg at the San Siro.[LNB] Emotional return: David Beckham[LNB] However, that is where the kindness will end.[LNB] 'I am very happy for David Beckham,' said the France full back. 'He did a lot of great things for Manchester United and I want to say to him, "Welcome home".[LNB] 'I have met him. He is a gentleman. He is a good person and a good professional. This is why Milan wanted him to go back there.[LNB] 'I like that type of player. He is still one of the best right-footed players in the world. But I hope he plays badly and I intend to make sure he doesn't do very well.'[LNB] The 28-year-old added: 'I am more interested in playing against AC Milan than David Beckham.'[LNB] Another man pleased to see Beckham heading back to Old Trafford is Barcelona technical director Txiki Begiristain, who admitted United's showdown with AC Milan and Inter Milan's tie with Chelsea will benefit his side. [LNB]'There are two clashes between Italian and English teams, which will put two of the biggest sides in Europe out,' he said. 'That makes a potential quarter-final even more attractive.'[LNB] [LNB]
