David Beckham is more than prepared for a backlash from American fans. Due to return to play for LA Galaxy in July David Beckham has told British tabloid paper The Daily Star he is ready for any backlash.

Beckham said: "On the fans' side, I hope they realise by now the reasons I made this move.

"I'm sure they'll be supportive, but you never know. Things could be good, things could be bad. I can only play the game and enjoy myself. I've had quite a bit of stick at certain grounds in England, so I'm sure I can take it.

"I've been in Milan for six months and I've enjoyed my time immensely. But I've always said I am still committed to MLS and to the Galaxy. I'll be back on July 11 to start training.

"It's always nice to be wanted, and Milan boss Carlo Ancelotti has been amazing to me allowing me to play in as many games as he has. I'm very thankful to him for that."
