Speaking after a training session, following Sunday's match which was marred by jeers and boos from sections of the crowd, he said he was enjoying being back at the club after a five-month loan to AC Milan.

He said: "I know the majority of these guys and there are some new faces but it is good to be back."

Of his reception from some fans at the weekend he said: "It is not about whether I can move on, I wasn't the one booing, at the end of the day I play my game, whether I get booed or not doesn't matter to me"

But he admitted: "I don't like my sons seeing that and hearing that, and my family, from an organised group of fans. I think it was disrespectful, some of the things that were being said and also some the banners, but it is what it is.

"To be honest all I'm going to do is play my football, if it's not good enough for some people, as long as it's good enough for myself and the team nothing else matters."

Asked about rumours the Beckhams are selling their Los Angeles base he said: "As far as I know, no. I hope not because I want somewhere to live for quite a few years so no that's not true, I've heard many rumours about buying and selling houses so it is just another rumour."
