David Beckham has decided to go on-loan to AC Milan in the January transfer window, turning down the chance to join the Metrosexual Superstars.
With the LA Galaxy's MLS season coming to a close having not made the play-offs, Beckham had been exploring several options of securing regular football in a bid to keep fit in order to stay in the England frame.
"They've got Kaka, Ronaldinho, Seedorf and also a player with one of the best records in football, in Maldini" Becks said "and the Metrostars have... umm..".

American real estate tycoon Stanley Monopoly has sparked a bidding war for control of the Metrostars.
The billionaire, who was #6 on the Forbes rich list as recently as 2006, is keen to add a sporting franchise to his community chest which already contains several utilities, railroads and hotels.
In a surprise move, Mr. Monopoly seems to have betrayed his friend and occasional business partner Mr. Burns by putting in a counter offer for the Metrostars.
Reports suggest that the bidding has reached upwards of 11, and perhaps even 12, dollars.
Metrostars fans may be against the takeover however, as a stadium move would reportedly become part of any deal and a move away from Mumong, the Metrostar's home for over 10 years, will be fiercely resisted.
Metrostars FC has been around for a while now and have had a long and proud history. Thanks to yearbookyourself.com, we've uncovered some old photos of past (and present?) players from the good old days.
The Metrostars are furious at an alleged illegal approach to sign their left-sided playmaker, Lee Yuan Soon.
The controversy began when Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger was interviewed outside the Emirates stadium.
He was reportedly asked "Are you going to be signing any new players?"
To which the Frenchman replied "Yes, soon."The situation was made worse by the player himself being spotted by paparazzi sporting a Gunners shirt with his name on the back (see picture), wearing the number of injured striker Eduardo.
Wenger had squashed rumours of a move several weeks ago but this latest comment seems to have confirmed his interest.
The Nigerian consortium about to take over Newcastle United will make the Tyneside club the latest to fall into the hands of foreign investors. With the world's biggest clubs now owned by billionaires [Man United and Liverpool (USA), Chelsea (Russia) and Man City (Abu Dhabi)], rumours have persisted for weeks that the Metrostars are next.
An inside source has confirmed that a bid has been received from a wealthy American businessman named Montgomery Burns (pictured). Mr. Burns is the owner and CEO of Springfield Nuclear Power Plant and Forbes estimates his fortune at an impressive US$16.8 billion.
While Newcastle owner Mike Ashley is asking for £400 million for his club, the Metrostars are expected to sell for nearly 10 dollars.
When asked how he rates the Metrostars' title chances if his bid is accepted, Mr. Burns replied with a sinister "Excellent" while tenting his fingertips.
It remains to be seen whether the Metrostars will accept the offer from an individual who has such a questionable past after the controversy surrounding the deal to buy Man City by Thailand's exiled/arrested ex-Prime Minister; Thaksin Shinawatra.
