David Beckham's mooted permanent stay at AC Milan has angered the American media, and a number of news agencies have launched campaigns against the on-loan Englishman.

Tuttosport claims that only LA Galaxy want Beckham to stay in North America; a number of anti-Beckham editorials have appeared on news websites around the United States, many of which are angled towards pushing 'Golden Balls' to a permanent exit.

An article on the news site Northjersey.com, as reported by Tuttosport, is clearly against Beckham's return as accusations begin to fly.

"Thanks For Nothing Beckham," reads the headline.

The article continues, "Beckham only came to America for the money because his career was in decline. He saw his future as an actor rather than value the league. Now he has understood he can still play football and he doesn't want to return.

"He has turned his back on the MLS, a league which helped him so much.

"There is no other choice but to let him go. However, the next time Beckham asks for help, slam the door in his face."

It seems as if there is a Beckham backlash afoot across the pond; this, perhaps, can only be seen as something positive for Milan as speculation over his future continues to grow.

The Rossoneri have until March 9 to convince the Galaxy with an offer.
