Marcel Desailly Backs United Overcome AC Milan

Marcel Desailly, former France skipper, interviewed by Soccernet said he is supporting Manchester United to overcome AC Milan when the two football giants clash in the Champions League on Tuesday, Feb 16, 2010.

Desailly, who played for Chelsea in the Premier League and for the Rossoneri in Serie A, believes that Manchester United's desire to avenge last season's final loss to Barcelona, coupled with a greater experience of playing at the top level over the past few years, will spur them on to victory.

"Manchester United's ambition is to win both [the Premier League and Champions League] and they are the only team I look at and think can potentially win the two," Desailly told Soccernet. "They suffered from last season's Champions League Final and want revenge."

AC Milan will host Manchester United on Champions League last-16 clash on Tuesday night.

David Beckham Could Play On for 3-4 Years

Ryan Giggs, Manchester United winger, gave praise over the longevity of former team-mate David Beckham, and expects the AC Milan loanee could play on another three or four years.

Both Giggs and Beckham were part of the famous "class of '92" at Old Trafford, which put the foundations for almost two decades of dominance for Sir Alex Ferguson's club.

Giggs was full of praise the ex-England skipper, who will be 35 when the World Cup comes around this summer, and was quick to insist that despite the huge media circus which follows him he has not changed over the years.

They were due to meet in the Champions League last-16 tie AC Milan vs Manchester United on Tuesday night at the San Siro in the second round of the competition.

But despite a promising start to his second loan spell at the Serie A club, Beckham has not started their last two fixtures and has had to settle for late cameo appearances, while Giggs is out of the clash after breaking his arm.
