Man Utd boss Ferguson eager to see Beckham back with Neville, Butt, etc

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is pleased LA Galaxy midfielder David Beckham is willing to play in Gary Neville's testimonial next week.

The United boss has promised further big-name representation to provide the appropriate tribute to a player who quit in February after amassing 602 appearances for the Old Trafford outfit.

"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."
