You can see that the request came from the heart. I think he deserves it considering we still sing for players who are neither legends nor United fans.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) are here to talk about United's dreadful home defeat at the hands of Big Ange's Tottenham Hotspur. Should this have been the end of Ten Hag? How long does he actually have left? And does Nik finally want ETH out?!
I imagine Victoria Beckham would have had a very big say in destinations. She is even more about brands and fashion - and his four moves to Madrid, Los Angeles, Milan and Paris seem ideal locations for that.
Was he not a fan of:
He plays on the left,
He plays on the Right
That boy Ronaldo
Makes Beckham look shite

As I said in the other thread, Beckham gave his best years to us despite still being a top player when he left for Real Madrid. And he clearly has more love for United than any other club he played for. A definite legend in my eyes.
Rangers, great draw.
Erm no he didn't. Can we not spread nonsense. He was literally forced out of the club by SAF.
Beckham:
“Over the years the manager had always made the right decision in his eyes for the team, and the club,” Beckham reflected, on the latest episode of The Overlap. “That happened to me in the end, I didn’t want to leave Manchester United at the time - we’d just won the league again, but all of a sudden I get a phone call to be told that Manchester United had agreed a deal, and that was the end of it.
“Even trying to speak to the manager after that, he didn’t want to talk to me. It wasn’t out of spite, he was on holiday, he didn’t want to be contacted, he’d made his decision and that was the end of it.
“At that point where the manager was telling me to do things and I wasn’t doing them, I suppose it goes back to when we talked about getting an agent and he told me to go with someone, he wanted me to go with someone and I didn’t – I went with someone he didn’t agree with. That was a tough moment for us.”
SAF:
"David was the only player I managed who chose to be famous, who made it his mission to be known outside the game," wrote Ferguson. "I felt uncomfortable with the celebrity aspect of his life."
"The minute a Manchester United player thought he was bigger than the manager, he had to go," he wrote. "David thought he was bigger than Alex Ferguson.
"That was the death knell for him."
Ran himself into the ground for England from 2001 onwards, barely jogged about in a United shirt during the same period, so much he was rightly dropped by Fergie. Was clearly looking to leave.
It's not nonsense. He obviously knows what the colours are. I have my doubts that he knew what they meant under the given circumstances.
He at least denied knowledge afterwards, because it was taken as a gesture against the Glazers.
I don't subscribe to the idea that he's some sort of two plank thicko.
In an age when you read about former Premier League footballers going bankrupt every other week, he's made some very wise choices.
He was laughed at when he chucked in Madrid for LA. He walked away with the rights to an MLS franchise.
He's no mug, that lad.
I'm going to watch him eat those chicken wings now.

Yeah its almost as if they've had to watch their communities shattered, their towns and cities impoverished and their culture ridiculed all at the expense of a country run with the success of 1 place in mind.
Can't fathom it at all.
Seriously? With all the influencers and Jake Pauls and whatnots? All the shitty prank pages? The ones who steal content and add a song, leaving you with a fecked up video with three incompatible songs layered?
It’s a fun interview format, you need to lighten up
Watch the Netflix documentary. Saf wanted him out, wouldn't speak to him etc. Becks wanted to stay.
And whose fault is that?
Immigrants, transgender people, refugees, feminists, cancel culture, benefits claimants, the list goes on.
???
He never wanted to leave, he was forced out to Madrid by SAF.
I think you might have him confused with Ronnie the slave.
Are you a teenager? It's been 50 years of decline, 50 years of de-industrialisation and an economy based on banking and services.
All you've done is list today's distraction topics.
Whooosh!
Probably. I think most fans just had enough of the circus. And he loved being a celeb. Also it annoyed me how much he wanted to be loved by the same fans who burned effigies of him.
Nonsense.
He was United through and through and grew up idolising the club with Robson his favourite player.
Fergie got rid because he'd had enough of the Posh & Becks circus.
I chose to believe Sir Alex. I do believe Beckham decided to chase fame over everything.
I still remember those email leaks where he was pissed off with the honours committee because he didnt get a knighthood after everything he had done. I dunno I just couldnt warm to the guy.
Mind you that James Corden prank on him is still funny to watch to this day.

All channels that deal mainly in a) reactions, b) pranks, c) clickbait and d) "influencers" vlogging are crimes against humanity. In a world far away and better than what we have, these people are held accountable. In ours they are not.
This one is not much better. Oh, let's "interview" a celebrity and make him eat spicy stuff so we can all laugh at a struggling celebrity. Isn't that great. Isn't that so "like yeah, you know like, funny".
This idea of "lighten up, it ain't that bad" is responsible for things becoming so bad. We need a no applause for bullshit committee, in order to name and shame the offenders. I don't want to see one of ours sitting there and making a fool of himself. Philosopher Ten Hag would call that having "standards".
It’s a way to make the interview setting less formal. You can’t tell me we’d get the same interview if it was a regular sit down.
You do you, but good lord what a miserable outlook on a benign thing.
I will not stand for any Hot Ones slander. It's a fun show.
Because he put England and himself before the club. Fame consumed him, so he didn’t look all in for United.
