Manchester United legends Eric Cantona and David Beckham both hope to join away fans at the San Siro for tonight's clash with Inter Milan.

The security men will have the final word but it says everything about United's allure, and the Champions League's appeal, that two past masters crave the chance to be fans paying homage to the European champions.

Cantona is passing through town for fashion week while Beckham, the LA Galaxy midfielder, is starring on-loan with Inter's city rivals AC Milan.
