Another January and another potential Beckham return to Europe.

Since moving to LA Galaxy in 2007, Beckham has returned to Europe in January for spells on loan at AC Milan but this January he has ruled out a move to the Italian club as joining the team’s rosterĀ  isn’t possible for such a short spell of time.

Beckham’s love affair with United has continued even 7 years after he departed and speaking about potential suitors this January he said he wouldn’t consider a move to an English team unless it was United. Beckham is a master at set pieces but it appears that he has been working on his fishing too.

That was as clear a come and get me plea as I have seen and whilst it as extremely unlikely would it be such a bad idea?

Part of the reason Beckham left in the first places is the media circus that inevitably follows him wherever he goes and if he was to return it would be as bad as ever but we could really reap the benefits of having him back at Old Trafford.

With Park Ji Sung leaving for the Asia Cup and Antonio Valencia out until February at least he could be a viable option. Bebe is still very rough and whilst improved, Obertan may not be ready for such an extended period in the first team. Tom Cleverley has also been mentioned as coming back off loan from Wigan but I think a full season playing games at a Premier League team has more benefits than him returning to fill a void.

United have benefited from a short term loan like this before with Henrik Larsson in 06/07 and with Beckham we would have someone who is already familiar with the surroundings even if things have changed in the 7 years he has been away. His wing play may not be what it was but he can still cross and pass, these are things that don’t go, he could play a creative role in the middle if Scholes or Anderson are absent for some reason and at worse could sell a sh*t load of shirts to help with the debt!

Of course this is a very long shot but I don’t think it would be a bad move by us at all, he would be a good temporary solution to a temporary problem.

Share in the Christmas cheer!

    Well nearly 3000 people on my page agree so since October 13th do you want to help us get him back as he clearly wants to …even for a short loan so he can train with his old mates and boost moral at the club amonst many other benefit to the premier league attendances and merchandise for our club. Here is the page.

    SEVEN REASONS WHY HE SHOULD COME BACK.

    1. He never wanted to leave.
    2. He loves the club.
    3. The fans proved their love for him when he returned.
    4. He is Man Utd …not Real Madrid or LA GALAXY!
    5. He is thinking of returning to England with his family
    6. It would boost the moral of everyone at MUFC & fans, bring in more revenue also to the other Premiership clubs.
    7. It would be fitting for him to end his career where he started and where he truly belongs, and he could help us win the trophies everyone desires, and with Giggsy, Paul and Gary on the way out it would be majical to have him back with them to end the Golden Era in style.

    Man Utd fans stil regard David as part of MAN UTD. We were devasted when he left, through no choice of his own, but for reasons to do with what was best for him and the club at the time. That is all history now.

    He proves how much he still loves this club over and over again. On his return recently with AC Milan, the Old Trafford fans made him so welcome that it brought tears to his eyes and ours too. It was very emotional.

    If he can go on loan to AC Milan, we don’t see why it would not be possible to have him back where he belongs and where he deserves to be. This is an important year for us, our trio may be retiring and we want to win all three trophies if possible. WHO BETTER to boost the moral, to motivate and to help us do it than Becks. We have already had a vote on several Facebook pages and the response has been wild. I don’t think hardly anyone objected. At least if none of this come about we would love for him to have a fitting testimonial match at Old Trafford and go out in style at the club he craves for and loves so much.

    I BELIEVE IF HE WAS OFFERED THE CHANCE EVEN TO COME BACK ON LOAN HE WOULD BE THERE IN A FLASH.
    WE REALLY MISS HIM AND NEED HIM BACK TO MARK THE END OF A GOLDEN ERA FOR THE REMAINING CLASS OF 92 AS WELL. Gary, Ryan and Paul, have not confirmed it is their last year. but wouldn’t it just be amazing to see this materialize? There is no other club in this Country he would go to and that’s why he stayed abroad!

    I do not see that this is impossible … Sir Alex we request that you think about it. PLEASE.

    IT WOULD JUST BE SOMETHING SO SPECIAL AND MAJICAL FOR MAN UTD. (read less)

    Then all we’d need would be keano out of retirement and we’d dominate the prem once more…

      Depending on how things go at Ipswich you may get your wish.

    • jonathan says:

      This just in: Solkjaer cancels coaching move to Molde and returns to United First team as he was irked by talks Chicharito replacing him.

      My opinion on the Beckham thing is probably no, and better safe than sorry. His legacy as United player is at his peak and I don’t think he’s really that close to where he was. There is a chance he’s got more in him than people expect, but I doubt that’s the case and I don’t think he’d be more effective than anyone currently on the team.

  5. Gary says:

    it makes sense for sure, but not in a million years would Fergie bring him back.

  6. fakrul says:

    he will return .. if not this january then next december when his contract runs out in L.A. however there is 80 per cent chance fergie will take him back for a couple of months in january 2011. and he will be a hit on the pitch for man united.. rest assured.

  7. Ryan says:

    lets be honest – this team has been really needing someone to hit consistent good corners and free kicks since ronaldo left! hehe.. cant see this happening, but can’t say i wouldn’t kind of like it if it did…. come off the bench when chasing a result? maybe im just nostalgic
