Remember me? David Beckhams magic Manchester United moments

Remember me? David Beckham (above) is a Manchester United legend after winning six Premier League titles in 10 years at Old Trafford, and wowing fans with his spectacular goals (below) Emotions will be running high as David Beckham lines up against Manchester United for the first time in his career on Tuesday night. Now on loan at AC Milan, Beckham started his career at United, rising from young hopeful to six-time Premier League champion during his 10 years at Old Trafford. But he will have to put that to one side as he attempts to help Milan win an advantage in the first leg of their Champions League knockout clash. Ahead of the hotly-awaited clash at the San Siro, Sportsmail takes a look at some of Beckham's finest moments in a United shirt. Halfway howitzer Hard luck, Neil: David Beckham commiserates with keeper Sullivan after scoring against Wimbledon It was red-hot on the opening day of the 1996-97 season and Beckham scored a scorching goal from inside his own half. Granted, his lob was against Wimbledon, at Selhurst Park, and over Neil Sullivan but the 21-year-old was now a household name. Double doubles His achievements at Old Trafford have not been mirrored after moving away. In the seven years after leaving Manchester he has won one La Liga title and the Western Conference - whatever that is - with LA Galaxy. Under Sir Alex Ferguson, he won it all, including two Doubles, in 1996 and 1999. Take that: Beckham smashes in the equaliser against Tottenham on the final day of the 1998/99 season in a match that saw United crowned Premier League champions after a 2-1 win - FA Cup victory followed just a week later Well played, young man The 1996-97 season was the breakthrough year for Beckham. His dramatic lob on the opening day against Wimbledon was followed at the end of the season with his second league title. But the icing on the cake came when he was voted the PFA Young Player of the Year, following other winners of the prize from United: Ryan Giggs, Lee Sharpe and Mark Hughes. Recognition: Beckham with his PFA Young Player of the Year trophy, Newcastle's Players' Player of the Year Alan Shearer and merit-award winner, Peter Beardsley Lucky number sevenA big day in the Beckham household was May 18, 1997 as Eric Cantona retired and left United's coveted number seven shirt free. Beckham joined the likes of George Best, Bryan Robson and Cantona himself to have pulled on the famous shirt and cemented his position as an Old Trafford legend. The magic number: Beckham parades his iconic Red Devils shirt Treble chaser A remarkable year for everyone involved with the club, 1999 culminated in that memorable evening at the Nou Camp when United became champions of Europe. Beckham's contribution - as it was so often - was to pass and cross the ball into areas where United could score from which he did twice. United won their first Champions League title for the first time in 31 years after two goals came from two corners supplied by Beckham (right, posing with the Champions League trophy).
