AC Milan president Silvio Berlusconi admits he won't stand in Kaka's way should the Brazilian decide to leave. Kaka is being linked with Manchester United and Berlusconi said: "Will Kaka stay? I hope so.

"You have all seen how we behave at Milan, we do not have the attitude of forcing our will on players.

"Those who stay are happy to remain with us. When [Andriy] Shevchenko told us he wanted to play in England, and everyone knows how much we all loved him here, we didn't feel it was right to say no. His was a strong desire, repeated to us often."
