AC Milan boss Carlo Ancelotti admits he's enjoying working with England international David Beckham.

"At the start he had to just train for two months and he didn't expect to play," Carletto said of the on-loan LA Galaxy midfielder.

"But after seeing the way that he trained, I chose him for the starting 11.

"We had been trying to sign him for around four years. I would say that he is a great player, but not a superstar, even if his performances and character have struck me.

"On the pitch David sees everything first. His vision is better than it was when he played at Manchester United and he is equal to Kaka.

"He may be slower, but he is stronger tactically and technically. He's very intelligent and he works harder. Beckham's a real beast."
