David Beckham recently expressed his sadness over Manchester United's absence in the Champions League this season. As a former player for the club, he understands the significance of this competition and the pride that comes with being a top team in Europe. He also revealed that he is eagerly looking forward to seeing another team in action - the one he is most excited about this season.
After a disappointing Premier League campaign, it seemed like United would miss out on any kind of European qualification. However, their victory in the FA Cup secured them a spot in the Europa League. The team will begin their journey in this competition next week with a match against Dutch side Twente at their home ground, Old Trafford.
United may not have made it to the Champions League this year, but they are still one of the most successful English clubs in the history of the competition. They have won it three times, including the iconic 1999 victory that completed their famous treble. Beckham played a crucial role in that triumph and although he is disappointed that his beloved club is not part of the tournament this time, he remains optimistic about their future.
In contrast to the high-profile Champions League matches happening on Tuesday evening, United played a relatively low-key game in the Carabao Cup against third-tier Barnsley. However, they still managed to secure a convincing 7-0 win. When asked if he would be watching the match instead of the UCL, Beckham jokingly admitted that he might struggle to convince a fellow celebrity to join him, implying that the Carabao Cup may not be the most exciting event to watch.
Recently, Beckham was spotted at a League One match between Birmingham City and Wrexham, along with other famous names like Gary Neville, Tom Brady, and Rob McElhenney. Despite not playing for them anymore, Beckham still follows his former clubs - Real Madrid, AC Milan, and PSG - and is particularly excited to see them in the Champions League this season. He is especially looking forward to watching Real Madrid and their new star player, Kylian Mbappe, in action. Beckham believes that once they find their rhythm, Real will be a force to be reckoned with.
Overall, Beckham remains a dedicated fan of Manchester United, keeping a close eye on their progress even after his retirement from football. He also stays updated on the latest news, exclusives, and analysis of the club, signing up for newsletters and adhering to their privacy policy. As an advocate for the sport and its top teams, Beckham continues to show his passion for the game and its players.
