Beckham's most immediate concern is helping Milan salvage something from another difficult season. After two months on loan at the San Siro, he knows that problems abound.

Amid flashes of brilliance, which often came from Beckham in the early weeks before a slight dip in his own form, the Rossoneri have shown the same inconsistent form which hampered them so badly last year.
Kaka and Ronaldinho are not as fluent as they once were while the ageing defence is shaky and inspirational 40-year-old captain Paolo Maldini retires in May.
Coach Carlo Ancelotti could face the sack at the end of the campaign if they fail to finish third and whatever happens, next season could be just as tough for the 2007 European champions.
