DAVID BECKHAM has admitted how much he misses Manchester United
as his Real Madrid career hangs in the balance.
Becks, 31, will snub a new two-year contract and head for the Real
exit if he is unable to win back his place under boss Fabio
Capello.
Clubs in England, Italy and America are on standby to move for
Beckham, who can leave for free at the end of the season when his
current deal runs out.
Beckham, who unexpectedly missed training yesterday, has made it
clear he would only return to England if it was to rejoin
United.
Becks knows boss Alex Ferguson would have the final say.
But he has stepped up the peace process by absolving Fergie for
their infamous boot bust-up shortly before he left in 2003.
He added: It was an accident. Ive known Ferguson since I was
12-years-old and we have had one or two problems in that
time.
"Maybe he didnt want me to leave. I dont think there is any
desire on his part for me not to have success. In every way, I hope
my luck changes.
Becks has also revealed his disappointment at how Reals players
hardly mix.
He added: I have friends Ronaldo, Roberto Carlos, Michel Salgado
but we dont go out together enough.
At Manchester I was there 15 years and every day, every match, we
were united, win or lose.
Every 15 days we went out together to dinner with all the players,
including times when Ferguson and all the coaches came.
In the three years Ive been here we have done that four
times.
