David Beckham lets Sir Jim Ratcliffe know his thoughts after Scott McTominay decision

David Beckham has made it clear he is not a fan of his former club Manchester United selling top quality youngsters such as Scott McTominay in thinly-veiled dig

David Beckham has seemingly criticised Manchester United’s decision to sell Scott McTominay. The former England captain, who, like McTominay, rose through the ranks at United’s academy, said he “hates” seeing talented graduates being sold “purely for financial reasons”.

McTominay, who is now flourishing at Napoli, made over 250 appearances for United before being sold for a mere £25.7million last summer. Then-manager Erik ten Hag justified the move as necessary to balance the club’s finances, amidst a backdrop of significant cost-cutting measure imposed by owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
