If beckham knew his history he would know that until the 1950s Manchester City were tbe bigger and more succesful club. Of the two teams, City were in fact far more succesful and richer.

It was only the advent of the busby babes and subsequent events, that turned things in Manchester Uniteds favour.

No doubt City will never be able to match the worldwide aura that Manchester United has now. But I really dont think a person like Beckham who has turned himself into a bit of a joke with his actions since he married that dopey skinny slut has any right to sit pontificating on the history of football. He is the epitomy of everything that has gone wrong with football, in many ways you could point the finger of blame at him for bringing so much of what is wrong with football into the world...

No matter how good he was as a player for United, I still feel he was one of the worst things that could happen to modern day football. He was the first sign that players were beginning to become bigger than the clubs they played for.
