Beckham’s exploits for United’s helped him to build up a loyal fan base, with countless honours collected as part of a dominant side managed by the iconic Sir Alex Ferguson.

On Saturday, the Cityzens put up a professional performance against Leicester City as they came away from the King Power Stadium with a 2-0 win. This was not an easy game, but they managed to find a way. The Foxes held firm and defended very well until their resolve was finally broken by a well-taken goal from Benjamin Mendy in the second half.
