Beckham is set to face Roberto Mancini\u2019s side in a pre-season friendly this weekend before featuring in a MLS all-star side that will face United next Wednesday.<\/p>\nThe 36-year-old, who is in his final year of contract at LA Galaxy, insists he would have never opted for a move to Eastlands and believes team spirit needs to be nurtured, rather than purchased.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe money that has been pumped into the club City has been incredible,\u201d said Beckham.<\/p>\n
\u201cPlayers have been bought and that does a lot but United have that history and its not all about paying fortunes for players.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s important that the players get along with each other, for example. That makes team spirit. As much as they have got the money to bring players in, sometimes that doesn\u2019t work.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf they continue they will be a threat but there are no guarantees. I don\u2019t know. I haven\u2019t been around their team and their squad and I wouldn\u2019t want to be around Man City.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf they continue to bring players in then who knows? You saw it with Chelsea when Roman Abramovich arrived. They won two leagues and they won them on the trot. It works sometimes, but hopefully it won\u2019t work at City.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis game on Sunday is just a small game. I am looking forward more to the All-Stars game against the best team in Manchester. The best team in England. That\u2019s going to be a great game.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is no extra motivation because it\u2019s Man City. It\u2019s just another game. It\u2019s not special to me because it\u2019s Man City. I am a Man United fan.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey may have some great players and be a threat against teams but Manchester United have the history and the silverware. I am a United fan so I will always say there\u2019s only one team in Manchester.\u201d<\/p>\n
Beckham, who may opt for a move away from the MLS once his contract in Los Angeles is finished, has dismissed any idea of a return to the Premier League at any other club than United.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have always said that I have played for the biggest club in England and I wouldn\u2019t like to play against them. I am 36 and still feel good and fresh but I can\u2019t see it happening,\u201d said Beckham, who trained with Tottenham in January to keep himself fit during the MLS offseason.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Tottenham thing didn\u2019t happen and it didn\u2019t happen for a reason. I only want to be known as a Manchester United player, and that\u2019s the way it will stay.”<\/p>\n
