Real Madrid's Beckham: I prefer it in the middle

Real Madrid ace David Beckham has admitted he wants to be played in central midfield.

"I am happy there, I admit that," he said. "I'm more involved and I do prefer to play in the middle."

Beckham also admits he hopes to play former club Manchester United in the Champions League this season.

"Yes, it is my dream. I would like to return and to play there (at Old Trafford). I have friends and to return to Old Trafford with Madrid would be special. But most important now is that we get past the quarters."
