Soccer: Countdown is on for Beckham's reunion with Man Utd team-mates

The clock is ticking as David Beckham looks ahead to the return of the Champions League and the visit of former club Manchester United on Tuesday.

Beckham's current club AC Milan have dropped off the pace in Serie A but will lean on positive memories of eliminating United in 2005 and 2007 as they prepare to take on the English champions.

While Ryan Giggs' fractured arm will keep him out of the first leg at the San Siro, Beckham can expect to see fellow Fergie Fledglings Paul Scholes and Gary Neville in the United squad. Having spent many happy years at Old Trafford, winning the Champions League along the way back in 1999, the England midfielder is bound to have mixed feelings when he is reunited with former team-mates.

It is sure to be an emotional night for Beckham and, judging by United's recent red hot form, it could be a rough one for the Italians.
