David Beckham Returns to Old Trafford

Last night David Beckham returned to Old Trafford after departing the Manchester side in 2003 and almost seven years on and now he had to face his former manager who made him the player he was and play against his old and familiar team-mates in the clash with Italian side AC Milan. This was a very important game for the Manchester side and vital they got off to a great start.

Things did get off to an outstanding start with the Manchester side taking the lead in the 13th minute with Wayne Rooney scoring a header, his 30th goal of the season and his 7th header on the trot. Just before Beckham was about to make his return to the pitch, Ji-Sung Park then got onto the score sheet scoring twelve minutes after Wayne Rooney calmly slotted home his second of the night, after a pinpoint pass by the Portuguese winger Nani who’s recent form has been an honour for the Man United side. Then there was the moment fan every Man United fan was waiting for the return of David Beckham.

On the 63rd minute although AC Milan were already out of the tie Beckham still reminded spectators he still had the cutting edge as he played a few trademark crosses and a resounding volley which was saved by Van Der Sar. It was a thoroughly deserved win for the Manchester side which will see them advance through to the quarter finals of the EUFA champions league also Arsenal have proceeded along with Lyon.
