I still remember getting the new Predator boots for Xmas as a kid and not being able to wait to get outside and take free kicks in them with my mates. I feel sorry for newer United fans not having players nowadays that gave you that longing to be a United player as much as Beckham did for my generation.

David Beckham is THE reason I support United. He's the reason I wore #7 in every sport. He's the reason my kids support United. Underappreciated doesn't even begin to explain it, honestly. He's a mix of De Bruyne on the field and Cristiano off it. How he stays so seemingly level headed is almost as impressive as his right foot.

I support United today because at 8 years old (in 2002) I saw a guy in a red top take a set piece. I begged my dad for that shirt and he (not knowing the difference) got me a number 10 Bergkamp shirt (Yes, I was that close to supporting Arsenal.) Thank God I remembered the guy I saw was number 7. He soon left United but his replacement wasn't bad at all. GGMU

This coming from a United fan. But I'm sorry. Just because Ryan Giggs is the most decorated PL player, doesn't imply he was the best in PL. There have been better PL players than Giggs. United ones as well as ones from other clubs. And keeping aside his personal life, Ryan Giggs is not even in the top 5 best United players. Top 10 maybe, but never top 5. Charlton, Best, Rooney, Cantona, Law are all above Giggs. Stop glorifying him just because he's done it all and won it all. And lastly, yes. The sooner we forget him, the better.

you could have talked so much more about his time at Madrid, being shunned from the team after signing his mls contract but working his way back onto the first team anyway and leading la Liga in assists as Madrid won the title; or playing in MLS and being able to walk onto the Milan side and play in the champions league as a contributor, or being able to go to PSG in the twilight of his career as they were starting their era of dominance and be a weekly starter for them. There is a very short list of players in history that could do that in the history of world football.

I am Irish and I think Beckham is world class and a true gentleman. I am not biased and have some evil motives like an "English fan" might. I see from the outside and What I see is a man who made adversity into an advantage. He is conventional in his style of play but thats what made him great, a God given Talent to whip in a cross or free kick with such precision. Beckham wasn't flashy but he was so effective. You don't have to be "flashy" to be world class, since when is tricks and skills only reason you are world class, look at CR7 now- With that logic Rooney, Andy Cole or Yorke are not world class. Beckham was a great footballer, an icon and he's an even better man. He may be rich as hell and has now become a little isolated from the average Joe but he's still an inspiration. Give Becks the respect he deserves, He was CR7 before CR7 i.e., An Icon. I tell you who isn't World class, a dinosaur like Graeme Souness who spent his entire football career, kicking people's shins and ending careers. Clowns will continue to Clown but Beckham always has the last laugh, icon always will be relevant. Souness has hot takes to stay relevant like a clown.

But if I do happen to remember him then he would absolutely be up there too, If you were picking a best 11 you'd be a fool not to include him.
