Former midfielder David Beckham believes Manchester United's players have done "what they could do best" as the conclusion of a wretched campaign nears.
United's hopes of securing Champions League football for next season officially drew to a close on Saturday evening following a thumping 4-0 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion at the Amex Stadium. Moises Caicedo, Marc Cucurella, Pascal Gross and Leandro Trossard all got their names on the scoresheet to condemn United to a fifth successive away defeat.
The defeat on the south coast, which has left United sixth in the Premier League table with just one game left to play, sparked yet more criticism of the current squad, who have underperformed and let the club down on countless occasions this season. A huge rebuild is set to take place under new manager Erik ten Hag over the coming months and it cannot come quickly enough.
