Valencia defender Aly Cissokho has revealed that he grew up as a Manchester United fan and is looking forward to playing against David Beckham on Wednesday.
The 25-year-old full-back will come up against the former United midfielder when Los Che take on Paris Saint-Germain at Parc des Princes in the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie.
"When I was little, I was a Manchester United fan, and so also of David Beckham," he told Le Parisien.
"It's strange to think I'll be playing against him, but it's not the first time I'll have come up against great players.
"[I fear Ezequiel] Lavezzi. I already knew him a little bit from his time at Napoli, but I saw in the first leg he's really very good technically and also in terms of the hunger he shows. He reminds me of Lisandro Lopez."
Valencia lost the first leg 2-1 at the Mestalla last month.
