David Beckham wouldn’t mind playing in defence for AC Milan as long as he gets a chance to prove himself worthy for England’s World Cup 2010 squad.

Milan are without their right-back Massimo Oddo and manager Leonardo is hinting that Beckham could start in defence.

He said:

“I would be happy to play in any position, in defence, in attack.”

Beckham commented:

“I am not expected to start the games. I just want to be part of the team. Players are not jealous. They were happy to see me back. My experience with the club was so special for six months. It was one of the best six months of my career. I missed the team, the players, the fans. The group is very similar. It is the same at Manchester United, it never changes.”

Becks also said that he almost cried when he saw Milan were drawn against Manchester United. On this he stated:

“I have never returned to Old Trafford in seven years. I miss it every day. I miss being a Manchester United player, I miss the club, I miss the fans and friends at the club. It has always had a special place in my heart. It is business. We want to win the game.”

He stated that he wants to add an Italian league title to his list of awards:

“To win a title is my number one wish. To win a title with AC Milan. I don’t think the league has lost any charm. Definitely not.”
