David Moyes expressed an interest to sign David Beckham on loan in the same way Landon Donovan joined Everton last season.
Becks is keen to keep up his fitness and with a return to AC Milan not on the cards, clubs around Europe became interested.
The last time Beckham visited Goodison Park, it was the last day of the season in 2003. He scored United’s equalising goal before Ruud van Nistelrooy scored the winner, with United lifting the Premier League trophy.
Like usual though, Becks has ruled out a move to an English club, because of his loyalties to Manchester United.
“It is always great to be wanted by different managers and different teams,” said Beckham. “Even if it’s on loan or a more permanent spell, it’s always nice. I have got great respect for David Moyes from playing with him at Preston. I think he has done an amazing job at Everton, but I am a Manchester United fan — it’s too close to home.”

Would love him back at OT in some capacity at some stage in the future, great man and United are and will always be in his heart
i would just like to see him back in the prem, i miss the circus
Good on you Dave, once a red always a red !!!!
What if we got him on loan for 6 months and watched him as well as the new Holy Trinity bow out together?
costas
i have a sneaky feeling scholesy will stay for a bit yet, i do think its gaz’s and giggsy’s last season though
Sign him up for the few months while Vilencia is out
@Ulster Red
You could be right. I don’t think it would be good for our locker room if all 3 of them retired at the same time. I think Neville is the one closest to retirement at the moment. A few weeks ago I remember hearing a rumor that we would begin talks with Scholes and Giggs. But who knows whether they would like to continue playing for one more year?
costas
imagine being in their positions, how hard would it be to turn down just “1 more year”
play as long as you can i say
Maybe one day Stephen Ireland will talk about his boyhood club.
Fergie sign him up!
I am hearing that the ref for tonight’s game is running late to get there. I hope it’s not delayed or anything. Playing with no ref is better than playing with Clatteberg!
@Ulster Red
True that. I just wonder if they feel like this is as far as they can go physically.
@Costas
It’s not a bad idea, he could help a lot of players with their set piece taking.
Good man. A man of sincerity when he says he is a United fan and not entertaining the idea of playing for another English club. Fuck off Moyes you deluded cunt. I call him that because no matter how much respect Fergie gives him, there is no sign of mutual respect from him. I stand by that after his comments about the ref prior to our FA Cup Semi-Final with them in 2009.
Becks won’t sign for anyone in England, he’s a United fan and that never leaves you. Moyes can do one and all, no chance for Fergies job.
Does anyone remember these two banners?

I still can’t stop laughing lol
I would simply be over the moon of Fergie signed him on a six month loan. I’ve slagged Becks off in the past but the way he acted when he returned with Milan completely won me back. FERGIE FERGIE SIGN HIM UP
Top man, top gentleman, with all the money and fame he has the guy always amazes me at how humble he is………… Any United fan is a friend of mine and has my respect
FERGIE SIGN HIM UP!!!!!
wonder if that is/was a shot at Rooney!? …
signed,
the conspiracy theorist.
He is so full of shite it is not funny. I really like becks but this is a bad way of saying everton are not good enough for me. Didnt seem to put P Nev off. I would imagine he is still well liked yes? I like him anyway!
Top bloke. Wouldn’t mind having him back on a loan spell. Believe he can still make a contribution, especially with the spot kicks, where he’s still one of the best in the world, if not the best. Would be a fitting end to his career… to help us win the 19th. Giggs on the left, Scholes in the middle and Becks on the right… oh, the memories!
Come on Costas, where’s the team news?
Offtopic
But can anyone tell me why Manchester City are known to be bitter ???????
Check out the league table on their home page
http://www.mcfc.co.uk/
Love him to play a role, never happen as a player.
Irish Red
So saying he does not want to play in England for any team makes him full of shite?
@willie
Haven’t found them yet.. But I am guessing that we should have them over the next 10 minutes.
There it is:
Kuszczak; OShea, Smalling, J.Evans, Fabio; Bebe, Fletcher, Giggs, Anderson, Obertan; Hernandez
: Kuszczak; OShea, Smalling, J.Evans, Fabio; Bebe, Fletcher, Giggs, Anderson, Obertan; Hernandez
Obertan behind Chicharito I presume. Good line up. I got 9 out of 11
And I think it was just revealed that me and GHTT copy pasted the line up from the same source.
http://twitpic.com/3bofr8
3 experienced players, is it enough?
Costas – Cheers mate. Stronger team then I thought it would’ve been. Not sure about Obertan off Hernandez, it never seems to work. What’s up with Kiko?
@costas …. there are only three places in a trinity and he chose the “dream move” to madrid over being honored like the second-coming of the trinity …
west ham http://twitpic.com/3boghw
also
wes brown to wear the armband
reat to see Giggs great to see ando but would of loved to see Amos
@hammons
I agree pal, I wouldn’t be against Beckham returned to United on loan as I think he could tutor a lot of players but Scholes, Giggs and Neville are the only second coming Trinity!
@willie
You are welcome. Giggs could also play as the link up man between the midfield and the attack. Come to think of it, I think he would be a better choice than Obertan there.
Kiko is fine I think. Fergie probably decided to go with 4-5-1 here.
Subs: Amos, Brown, Park, Carrick, Rafael, Eikrem, Macheda
Fletcher is back? Cool he saw Andro play well and got healthy quick.
I started watching footy when Fox soccer came to my cable system. Thats was some 6-7 years ago when Rooney and CR& were just starting and Becks was on his way out. Never really saw him at his best for Man Utd. He will never come back to MUFC.
@hammons
I know mate. I didn’t say he was part of it anyway. Just that it would be a nice touch if he played his final game for United along with the lads he grew up with at OT.
As a player that is.
Costas
Only 9 out of 11? terrible return mate, you should do better……. I am bitterly disappointed in you…
Only messing mate
GO UNITED
In France tonight its Brest vs Lens.
Keep an eye on that.
What a great young team MUFC overflowing with young talent. Why can’t MUFC just buy a League 1 team and loan out like 9-10 young players to there own team and watch them get promoted to the next leavel?
gotta hate – Hello James mate. That City link is fucking hilarious. Cannot even put us on the league table!!
Always great to see Giggsy on any pitch, especially when he’s close to retirement. What about Bebe off Hernandez and Obertan on the wing? Any ways, I’d expect us to win this 3 1, the little pea to get a double.
7/11..crap..
Surprised by Fletcher inclusion and Gibson omission. I thought Fletcher was injured. Eikrem is on the bench. I wonder if we shall see him make an apperance. Macheda and Park are only other attacking options on the bench.
Hope to see Eikrem playing..
@Cedars
I am getting there.
I did worse last Saturday, lol.
No Fergie, don’t sign him up, it would be at the cost of some very deserving youngsters who need games. Nostalgia holds you back.
Im not sure if the relationship with SAF has ever been repaired to the extent that Becks would ever be considered, never mind his ability to stand up to the rigours of the English having been out of it. We all know SAF wasn’t blameless in Becks going and neither is Becks which is something he must regret, as much as I want to love him unreservedly a little bit of me always remembers that he did for a short period think he was bigger than the club and I think its only when he left he found out he wasn’t.
In my opinon if he could look back he would swap the last few years he’s had at RM, AC and the Galaxy for a longer stay at OT, but we all fuck up when we’re young.
Gibson has picked up a thigh injury, that’s why he’s out.
Thanks willie. How are you mate? Thoughts on game 2nite?
NRD – Not bad mate, fancy a 3 1 win tonight.
FERGIE SIGN HIM UP!!!
It’ll be brilliant if we got him for loan for a while!
I’d just like to see Becks back on Match of the Day, even if he’s not playing for us. Can’t he play for Everton and just agree that he won’t play in games versus United? That way he wouldn’t harm our season, because it’s not like Everton will be challenging us for league position.
well beckham on loan is not such a bad idea
Respect for Becks! All said and done , all the money, fame – inspite of it all he always shows respect to Manutd! Never once after leaving the club has he mouthed off or acted contrary. He’s an example – primadonna wife, media hysteria, money, fame etc – but he’s a solid professional doesn’t mess around with the GAME.
Manutd shud invite him to train with them – he’s still one of its biggest ambassadors. But Fergie the ol’ codger aint gonna swallow his ego for this. He shud coz Becks has always had reverence for him and the Red Devils. It would do him good to invite Becks to train and maybe just maybe play fa-cups or something but participate . The easiest way to get back into the England squad – which has been rubbish !
fergie sign him up, wud love to see him back!
well he’ll probably play at neville’s testimonial, possibly the other two’s as well.
Top bloke. A United great in my eyes.
Still showing great loyalty after all these years.
Would be a dream come true to see Becks back from January until MLS starts up again.
Think he still got it in him to deliver as a back- up, and his delivery is still pure world class.
But off course the most important is that Becks would get a well deserved ending to his United carrier. He is without a single doubt a true legend, and truly a genuine United supporter, I simply love it
Someone should do some lobbying trying to make this happen
Great picture!
With Valencia out, I never thought about bringing Becks back, but.. that’s a pretty damn good idea! Having a choice of two on the right, maybe even put Valencia in the middle if we have to like he plays for Ecuador, would be pretty sweet with Ando in the middle too and Nani on the left. Make it happen Fergie!
