David Beckham has ruled out a loan move back to Europe after the Major League Soccer (MLS) season finishes in November.

The England midfielder has been linked with a move to Newcastle United while AC Milan are reportedly eyeing Beckham.

But Beckham has quashed the speculation by insisting he has turned his back on the Premiership.

"Will I be coming back somewhere on loan? No," Beckham said.
"That is never going to happen."

Beckham put in an impressive display in England's 1-1 draw with Brazil on Friday at the new Wembley.

He could be the centre of a club versus country row as England's crunch Euro 2008 qualifiers in September and October clash with a crucial part of the MLS season.

Beckham hopes Galaxy will not stop him playing for his country having just returning to the international fold.

"Travelling is not going to be a problem, because I will travel from anywhere to play for my country, so we will see," Beckham said.

"I haven't worked out schedules, but I am sure it can be done nearer the time.

"Everyone at LA Galaxy knows that I want to play for my country and I am sure they will do everything possible to make it possible for me to play for my country."

Beckham is expected to start in England's must-win Euro 2008 qualifier away to Estonia on Wednesday.
