Sir Alex Ferguson thinks David Beckham will start on the bench for Milan at Old Trafford.
Alexandre Pato's return to the squad suggests the Rossoneri will risk the Brazilian and that could leave Becks kicking his heels on the sidelines.
The England midfielder is guaranteed a warm welcome on his return to Manchester but the special bets on his performance need swerving.
Stan James have him 13/2 to score any time and 12/1 to rifle in a trademark free-kick.
The 2/1 to play the full 90 minutes is short enough while he's 7/2 to be booked or sent off.
None of the markets make any appeal from a punting point of view.
