The England and AC Milan star, David Beckham says he is ready to beat his former club, Manchester united in the last 16 of the Champions League on Tuesday.

Beckham who won six Premier League titles while at Old Trafford faces his former club for the first time since 2003.

“It is going to be an emotional game but, as a Man United fan, it is the first time I am going to want United lose,” the Superstar told reporters on Monday. “

As AC Milan player I want to beat Man United, and to say that as a Man U fan is quite difficult. It is important that we win the game.

“I am a Milan player and I want us to play well in the game and progress to the next stage.”

The superstar who holds 115 international cups left Manchester United for Spanish giants, Real Madrid in 2003 after his relationship with Sir Alex Ferguson turned to sour as Ferguson was unhappy with his increasing off-the field celebrity. But Beckham insisted that he has no problem with Ferguson.

“ Sir Alex will always be a father figure to me,” he said. “ He always will be. No matter what has been said in the past, whether good or bad, I only remember good times. “

He was the man who gave me my chance to play for the club I had always dreamed of playing for. For me there were only good times. Sir Alex is respected throughout football all around the world. “

Clubs moves forwards and it was my time to leave Manchester United in 2003, and I moved on. I definitely hold nothing against the Manager, he is an incredible man.”

In other Champions League games, Lyon are at home to host Real Madrid while Arsenal will be travelling to Portugal to face FC Porto.
