England midfielder David Beckham insisted yesterday that he will play on after the 2010 World Cup.
The Sun newspaper reported that the AC Milan player was planning on retiring and returning to England once the competition in South Africa is over.
"I've always said I'd love to carry on playing after the World Cup and that isn't going to change," Beckham said. "I don't know where the reports have come from, they definitely haven't come from myself."

Beckham, 34, is on loan at AC Milan from the Los Angeles Galaxy. He has started all three games since returning to San Siro for a second straight season on loan, playing all 90 minutes of Milan's 4-0 win over Siena yesterday.
