DAVID BECKHAM has been warned his dream clash with Manchester United will turn into a rough ride.
Ex-Old Trafford striker Teddy Sheringham reckons United will unveil anti-Beckham tactics against their former hero in Tuesday's Champions League quarter-final first-leg tie with AC Milan.
Sheringham, 43, said: "Alex Ferguson knows everything about him. I'm sure he will make sure Patrice Evra plays right against him.
"Beckham is still a fantastic crosser of a ball and United will be out to deal with him."
BACKING BECKS ... Sheringham
Sheringham also believes on-loan Becks willgo to this summer's World Cup finals — even if he fails to regain his regular starting role with the Italian giants.
The former Tottenham ace said: "I don't think Fabio Capello will think of starting Beckham in the finals, so as long as he plays some games for AC I think he'll be OK."
Sheri rates Barcelona, United and Chelsea as the top contenders for Euro joy.
He added: "I don't think United are quite as effective all-round as last season.
"But in the last six months Wayne Rooney has gone right up there with the best strikers in the world and now Nani is coming through too.
"Rooney is showing this season what a natural finisher he is. He's always had that in him but goals breed confidence.
"Tracking back is part of his game and the superb attitude he has. But once you get a few goals you want to get a few more and stay in good positions where you can get them.
"So all those things are why his goalscoring record has improved."
Sheringham, however, thinks Rooney's transformation from hot-head to hotshot is mainly down to age.
He said: "Rooney is 24 and maturing as a player and a person.
"He doesn't get involved as much. I've seen him watching on as other players argue with refs.
"I've noticed him look at refs as if he can see things from their point of view."
And when Sheri talks body language, you should listen — as he spends hours studying it for his new pursuit poker.
The ex-striker, who came 14th out of 334 in a recent event, said: "I'm using my brain rather than my feet.
"It's a competitive thing, the will to win.
"The top, very experienced players are amazing. They can remember hands they got from three weeks previously.
"And if you make a huge bluff they can stare at you for three or four minutes and spot you making just the tiniest gulp, or see a pulse in your neck.
"You get a massive lift if you do well against all these experts who have been playing for so long."
