After picking up a BBC Sports Personality Lifetime Achievement, David Beckham revealed that he might return to Manchester United one day.

“I’ve missed playing in the Premier League since I left it seven years ago now,” said Beckham. “It’s one of the most competitive leagues in the world and maybe one day I’ll come back and play here, but I’ve always said it will only be for Manchester United. I’m not holding my breath on that one but we’ll have to wait and see. Going back to AC Milan is not possible because of getting on to the roster for such a short space of time. ‘But it would be nice to go somewhere because I want to keep myself fit and within a chance of getting called up for England again. To do that, I have to be somewhere, so fingers crossed.”

Personally, if I was him, I’d give Bayern Munich a call. Fancy playing for the biggest team in England, Spain, Italy and Germany during your career. It’s the kind of CV that could only be bettered if he’d chosen to stay at United…
