Former LA Galaxy head coach Ruud Gullit has weighed in on the AC Milan / David Beckham situation and what could possibly be in the future of both player and club.

Speaking to BBC Five Live’s ‘Sportsweek’ programme, the Dutchman warned that forcing Beckham to return, against his will, could cause problems.
“From a player’s point of view, everyone can understand why he wants to stay at Milan,” said Gullit.
“Every player wants to stay at the highest level, every player wants that.
“But knowing that you [Galaxy] as a club would have a player who would be very disappointed that he was not allowed to stay at Milan, how do they think he will react?
“How would his colleagues react to him if he did come back?”
Gullit also added that he felt Beckham had failed to produce his top form during his spell in America and wondered if he would be able to replicate his recent good displays for Milan should he be forced back to the States.
“In the US he has not played really, really well. Certainly not the level he has played at Milan,” he added.
“So therefore we have to see if he is going to play with the same strength and determination that he showed at Milan. That will be interesting to see.”Image via Cdn
