London, Mar 9: Ac Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti has admitted that ace England midfielder David Beckham has exceeded all expectations during his first two months as an club player on the day it was confirmed he will remain with San Siro until June 30.

Munich  - In the US Landon Donovan is considered as possibly the best there is and even though he plays for the same club as former English captain David Beckham, the striker is considered the star in the team.

But unlike Beckham, whose loan club AC Milan is pulling out all the stops to keep the midfielder in Serie A, Donovan will be leaving German champions Bayern Munich and returning to his Major League Soccer club, LA Galaxy next week.

Donovan's time at Bayern Munich is his third attempt to secure a breakthrough in the Bundesliga, but just like his previous times at Bayer Leverkusen, the striker has failed.
