CARSON, Calif. � Los Angeles Galaxy coach and general manager Bruce Arena says the team regrets the exchange between David Beckham and a fan at halftime of its exhibition against AC Milan.

Arena�s comments Monday come a day after Beckham was the target of frequent booing and derisive banners held up by one of the team�s support groups during Beckham�s first home game since returning from a five-month loan to AC Milan.
At halftime of Sunday�s 2-2 tie, Beckham walked toward the L.A. Riot Squad section and motioned to a fan to come closer. The man jumped down from the seats and was arrested by police for trespassing.
Arena said in a statement issued by the team that it�s important for fans to be able to voice their opinions but they must do it in an appropriate manner.
Arena says the team has a good relationship with the L.A. Riot Squad and has reached out to set up a meeting with the group. He says the group has issued a lifetime ban on the fan that left the stands.
