Beckham in United return

DAVID BECKHAM will lock horns with former club Manchester United in the last 16 of the Champions League after AC Milan were drawn against the Old Trafford giants.

And Jose Mourinho faces a return to Stamford Bridge after his Inter Milan side were paired with Chelsea.

The other English team left in the competition, Arsenal, meet Porto, while defending champions Barcelona were today drawn against Stuttgart in the first knockout stage.

Barca, who last season added the Primera Division and Copa del Rey crowns to their European success, will travel to Germany for the first leg.

French champions Bordeaux will meet Olympiacos, resurgent Bayern Munich were drawn against Fiorentina, Sevilla meet CSKA Moscow and Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema will go back to the Stade Gerland when the Spanish club take on Lyon.
