Former Manchester United midfielder David Beckham hopes a documentary about the club’s Treble-winning campaign in 1998-99 can inspire the Old Trafford side out of their current struggles.
Beckham was part of a United side that won the Champions League, Premier League and FA Cup 25 years ago under Sir Alex Ferguson.
The present team are eighth in the Premier League and have not won the top-flight title since 2013.
United last won the Champions League in 2008 and the FA Cup in 2016, although they did win the Europa League in 2017 and League Cup in 2023.
“In all honesty, I think that anyone that watches this documentary and has a connection to United, that they’ll be inspired by it,” Beckham told BBC Radio 5 Live at the premiere of Amazon Prime’s ’99’.
“It’s been a difficult time for the team over the last few years now but it was always going to be.
“When we were as successful as we were for the amount of years there was always gong to be this time.
“Now, we feel it’s probably gone on for a little bit too long but it will mean something to these homegrown lads without a doubt because the homegrown lads actually talk about that moment in time so we hope it inspires them.”
We will have more memories from that Treble-winning campaign later in this page.
