David Beckham's former manager says he does not regret selling the superstar midfielder seven years ago.
Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson sold the former England captain to Real Madrid. Ferguson says his only concern is how his current team reacts to the media scrutiny that is likely to accompany Beckham when he faces United this month for the first time.
Beckham is on loan at AC Milan from The Los Angeles Galaxy. Milan plays United in a two-legged Champions League match on Feb. 16 and then March 10.
Ferguson said that other players had returned to United but told the club's official magazine that Beckham's celebrity meant ``we haven't really seen anybody else return to the club in that situation.''
