David Beckham left Sir Alex Ferguson's Manchester United for La Liga champions Real Madrid in July 2003 - ending the academy graduate's 12-year spell at Old Trafford
David Beckham claims legendary Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson wanted him to concentrate on his career and marry a "local girl" after he first got together with Victoria.
Beckham was asked about his relationship with Ferguson in his new four-part Netflix documentary called 'Beckham'. The former England captain was happy to tell his side of events, with Ferguson also contributing to the eagerly-anticipated docuseries. Beckham explained: "I didn't want anything to come in the way of the football but I knew my career was going to end at some point. And I wanted to have a career after football and that ate away at the manager, he just wanted me to be the best footballer I could be and be married to a local girl that wasn't a superstar."
In comparison, Beckham won just seven trophies during that time - one La Liga title, one Ligue 1 title, two MLS Cups, two MLS Supporters' Shields and the Spanish Super Cup. Yet he did establish himself as one of the most famous people on the planet.
