David Beckham tonight confirmed he hopes to stay at Milan on a permanent basis.

The England midfielder's loan spell from Los Angeles Galaxy expires on March 9 and the Italian club were hoping to extend it.

But, after playing the first half of Milan's 2-2 friendly draw against Rangers at Ibrox, Beckham revealed he hoped to make it a permanent transfer.

"At the moment my lawyers are not talking to the Galaxy but I have expressed my desire to stay at Milan now and it's just down to Milan and Galaxy to come to an agreement," he said.

"I have enjoyed my time here. I knew I would enjoy it but I didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I have and do as well as I have."
