UNITED: Becks backs ex-Reds

David Beckham admits he never expected former United team-mates Mark Hughes and Paul Ince to progress into management.

/noticias.info/ However, having watched the duo take on new roles at Manchester City and Blackburn respectively, Beckham feels they have benefited from working under Sir Alex Ferguson.

"I never, ever thought Sparky would go into management," said Beckham.

"Sparky was always quite quiet in the dressing room. He has been coached and watched by one of the best managers - if not the best - in the history of football.

"When you have had that experience playing for United, when you have seen how Sir Alex Ferguson watches players, coaches players and protects players, that can only help you as a manager.

"Incey is the same as Sparky. I never thought he would be a manager, either. He has enjoyed a surge to the top. He will bring that experience from being at United and managing two football clubs.

"He will also have the respect of the players due to what he has done in the game. He will also bring the fun side. I have no doubts the Blackburn players will love playing with him."
