Beckham's Vote of Confidence for United Boss
Manchester United legend David Beckham has publicly endorsed current manager Ruben Amorim, stating his belief that the club is moving in the right direction. Beckham's comments came following United's vital 2-1 away win against Crystal Palace on Sunday, a result that ended a three-match winless streak for the Red Devils.
A Hard-Fought Victory at Selhurst Park
The match at Selhurst Park saw United fall behind early after an opener from Crystal Palace's Jean-Philippe Mateta. However, a second-half resurgence, fueled by goals from Joshua Zirkzee and Mason Mount, secured a crucial three points for Amorim's side. This comeback victory lifted Manchester United to seventh in the Premier League table, now sitting just three points behind fourth-placed Aston Villa.
Amorim's Tactical Tweaks Pay Off
Speaking from the Qatar Grand Prix, Beckham told Sky Sports that he sees promising signs from the new manager. "I think there are signs of the manager turning things around," Beckham said. "He has tweaked a few things and we are coming into a few better results. There's still a long way to go... but I think we've got a good manager there and I think he is changing things slowly." This public support comes amid reports from The Sun last month that Beckham was approached to be an ambassador for a potential takeover bid from a United Arab Emirates consortium.
Meanwhile, manager Ruben Amorim expressed visible relief after the final whistle. He revealed that his half-time team talk focused on tactical understanding rather than a fiery rant. "We just wanted everyone to understand the game," Amorim explained, highlighting that he felt Palace were struggling towards the end of the first half. He specifically praised the improved second-half performance of striker Joshua Zirkzee, which was pivotal in changing the game's dynamic.
