Beck: wish he had never left
David Beckham admits he wishes he had never left Manchester United as he prepares to head back to Old Trafford with new club AC Milan in the Champions League's last 16 in March.
Beckham says he envies former team-mate Ryan Giggs, who has stayed his whole career at the club while Beckham's path took him to Real Madrid then to the Los Angeles Galaxy, while he is now preparing for a second loan spell with Milan.
Beckham told BBC Radio Five Live's Sportsweek: 'I'd have loved to have stayed at Manchester United for my whole career and never gone anywhere else but it just wasn't meant to be.
'It takes a special person and a player to stay at a club for so many years. Ryan's been there for so many years now and he'll be part of Manchester United for life - he's a Manchester boy and it runs through his blood.
'I'm so honoured to have played with Ryan through the years I did and to know him as a person and a player. He deserves all the success he's had this year and in the other years."
