AC Milan midfielder David Beckham says the current Manchester United team is as good as the Treble-winning side he was part of in 1999.
Beckham, 34, hopes to come up against his former club for the first time since he left in 2003 in Tuesday's Champions League last-16 first leg.
"I think they are as talented as the team back then," said Beckham.
"The Champions League is important to so many clubs. United are always going to be a strong team."
Beckham spent 12 years with United before joining Real Madrid and helped the Red Devils win the Champions League, Premier League and FA Cup in the historic Treble of 1999.
However, he insisted he will put emotion to one side in the first leg against his old team in Italy.
"It's going to be emotional but, as a United fan, it's the first time I am going to want them to lose," he stated.
"As an AC Milan player I want to beat United - it is important we win the game and progress to the next stage." Sourch : BBC Online
