Becks tears at United news

David Beckham has admitted that he "almost cried" when he heard that AC Milan had drawn Manchester United in the last 16 of the Champions League. The Italian giants tackle the Red Devils over two legs in early February. "I have never returned to Manchester as a player in seven years. It is going to be incredible. It will be an emotional night," said the 34-year-old on Thursday. He did however admit that he would put his emotions aside once on the pitch. "It is business. We want to win the game." Beckham is hoping that he will recapture the strong form he showed in last year's loan spell with the Milan as he bids to make the England squad for the 2010 World Cup. If he does it will be his fourth appearance in the global showpiece. Beckham played for United from 1994 – 2003.
