Beckham hopes to see Mourinho return to Prem

“I think there’s an terrible lot of cheerleading still going on for Ryan Giggs which the majority of Manchester United fans in on-line polls find baffling”.

“Jose leaving Chelsea, who would have expected that after the season they had past year?”

The Red Devils have struggled since the great Scotsman retired from management in the summer of 2013 and although it was something he did not wan to see happen, Beckham felt it was inescapable with such massive changes at Old Trafford. You have lost such great characters through the team, ‘ he added.

United are now fifth in the Premier League table but are closer to mid-table than they are to the top four, which means their best chance of qualifying for next season’s Champions League competition is by overturning a 2-1 deficit to Midtjylland on Thursday and winning the Europa League outright.

Mourinho has won three Premier League titles, the FA Cup and three League Cups during his two spells in England. Sir Alex, Sir Bobby and David Gill sit on the football club board; the Glazers and Ed Woodward sit on the main company board.

David Beckham has revealed that he felt a slump in form was coming the way of Manchester United after Sir Alex Ferguson left.

Beckham believes that United need to win more silverware again if their big-club status is to stay intact, per talkSPORT: “Man United is Man United”. You want to see managers like that in the game.

So there you go- LVG does have at least one prominent supporter.

There is resistance among some Manchester United legends to any move to appoint Jose Mourinho as manager.
