Ferguson delighted as Beckham returns to Man Utd

Sir Alex Ferguson is looking forward to David Beckham wearing a Manchester United shirt again. Eight years after he left Old Trafford for Real Madrid, Beckham will play in Gary Neville's testimonial match against Juventus.

Ferguson has already guaranteed Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes will be involved despite their presence in the United squad for the Champions League final clash with Barcelona on May 28.

"With David Beckham coming, along with Nicky Butt, Phil Neville, Scholes and Giggs, it will be a fantastic occasion," said Ferguson.

"It is great to reunite these players together.

"There is no question they created a magnificent spirit in the place when they first arrived in the team.

"It helps us too because Gary's service to the club deserves a good representation from Manchester United.

"He has been a fantastic servant and I hope he gets the crowd he deserves."
