BECKHAM PREPARES THE GROUND

Last updated : 19 January 2005 By editor

Less than two years after leaving United Beckham has told the Mirror that he would welcome a return to OT:

"If I ever leave Real Madrid I would go back to United and work with Sir Alex Ferguson again, definitely. Manchester United were the club that I grew up with and felt that I would always be there my whole career."

Any guesses what Ferguson's reaction might be?
