Evra hopes for Becks shocker
Patrice Evra is excited at facing former darling of Old Trafford David Beckham in the Champions League. This comes after Manchester United were drawn against Beckham’s AC Milan in the last 16 of Europe’s premier tournament. "I am very happy for David Beckham," said French defender Evra. "He did a lot of great things for Manchester United and I want to say to him 'Welcome Home'. But I hope he plays badly and I intend to make sure he doesn't do very well." United are scheduled to face the Italian giants on 9/10 or 16/17 March. The Red devils have beaten five of their last seven Italian opponents in the Champions League knockout stages but, significantly, the two occasions they lost were both to AC Milan: 2-0 on aggregate in the round of 16 in 2005 and 5-3 on aggregate in the semi-finals in 2007.
