Beckham insists he does not mind where he finds first-team football, accepting that he would have to consider a switch to the Premier League should the opportunity arise.

As a lifelong Manchester United fan he admits that his preferred option, should a move to England materialise, would be to head back to Old Trafford - where he left for Real Madrid in 2003.

"I'd love to go back to United because they are the team I support," Beckham said.

"For me, they are the best fans in the world. They're the best club I've played for.

"Manchester United is always a team that any professional would want to play for."
