London, Dec. 31 (ANI): England and A C Milan star David Beckham has said that he may cry rather than celebrate if he scores against Manchester United in the Champions League.

Beckham recently admitted that he almost wept with joy when he heard his temporary club would be facing his old one in the next round of Europe's elite competition.

Beckham supported United as a kid and played 394 games for them - scoring 85 goals - before leaving Old Trafford for Real Madrid in 2003.

This will be the first time he has played against Alex Ferguson's troops.

"If I score I will not celebrate. I would love to score, but I definitely wouldn't celebrate. I know that sometimes when it's a big occasion you don't think, so you can never tell what will happen.

"But I am telling you I wouldn't want to celebrate," The Sun quoted Beckham, as saying.

The England midfielder, 34, has rejoined A C Milan on a six-month loan from LA Galaxy in a bid to seal his place in Fabio Capello's squad for next summer's World Cup finals in South Africa.

Becks will welcome his former club to the San Siro on Tuesday, February 16, for the first leg of their last-16 showdown. (ANI)
