David Beckham has shared his thoughts on Manchester United‘s recent tour to Asia. He slammed the players’ behavior on and off the pitch, comparing it to the squad he used to play in.
The Red Devils traveled to Asia for friendlies after a disappointing 2024-25 campaign. They first lost 1-0 against ASEAN All-Stars in Malaysia before beating Hong Kong 3-1 in Hong Kong. However, along with the results, some off-the-pitch incidents also garnered media attention.
Amad Diallo was seen showing his middle finger, but he alleged that it came after he was subject to abuse about his mother. A fan also alleged that Alejandro Garnacho pushed him in Kuala Lumpur.
Amidst all this, Manchester United legend David Beckham shared his thoughts on CBS Sports, saying (via Mirror):
He also reminisced about his own time at the club, saying:
Manchester United will now return to pre-season after a break and will travel to Sweden and the United States.
The Red Devils have confirmed the arrival of Matheus Cunha from Wolverhampton Wanderers this summer. As per journalist Ben Jacobs, United triggered his £62.5 million release clause, but it will be paid in three installments. Moreover, he has signed a five-year contract with an option to extend it by a year.
Cunha first joined Wolves from Atletico Madrid on loan in January 2023 before the move was made permanent that summer. He has been brilliant for them, recording 33 goals and 15 assists in 92 games across competitions.
He will bring versatility and flair to a struggling Manchester United side. They scored just 44 goals in 38 Premier League games in the 2024-25 season, with only four sides scoring fewer. They also finished 15th and failed to win any silverware.
A B.Tech. graduate, Aditya’s journey as an ardent football fan began after watching the elegant maestro Zinedine Zidane in the 2006 FIFA World Cup, and his infamous headbutt on Marco Materazzi in the final. He has been a fan of Tottenham Hotspur’s front foot and creative football since 2008 and connect’s with the club’s underdog status.
Aditya, who is a Sportskeeda ‘Long-form Editor of the Month’ award winner, is a big admirer of Luka Modric’s elegant and hard-working style of play. His favorite manager is Carlo Ancelotti because the Italian allows his players enough freedom in an age where micromanagement is the established norm.
Aditya feels Jude Bellingham and Jamal Musiala could replicate the Messi-Ronaldo rivalry due to their incredible collective potential. In his free time, he likes to read classical fiction, travel to places, and explore a variety of foods.
