Beckham left United to join Real Madrid in 2003 and is now set to return to Old Trafford for the first time, now with AC Milan.
Ferguson told the club’s official magazine Inside United: “No regrets. We move on.
“The only difference with David’s return to Manchester United compared with other players is that there will be a big media circus surrounding him when Milan arrive.
“He’s such a high-profile celebrity – not just a high-profile footballer – and we haven’t really seen anybody else return to the club in that situation.
“Our job is to concentrate on the football match and let the David Beckham media circus carry on – we know we’re not going to stop it anyway.”
“I think I told him myself last year when I saw him before our game against Inter that he should be thinking about getting back to Europe if he wanted to go to the World Cup,” said Ferguson.
“And it looks like he might just get his wish now. He had a good spell with Milan last time, so it made sense to me to see him back there again.”
