Overview

  • David Beckham said on CBS Sports that the squad had failed to “represent the badge” after a series of off-field incidents during the post-season trip to Malaysia and Hong Kong.
  • Alejandro Garnacho was filmed shoving a fan in Kuala Lumpur and Amad Diallo responded to supporter abuse with an obscene gesture, incidents that Beckham called “not okay.”
  • The tour generated around £10 million but took place after United’s joint-worst Premier League finish (15th) and a Europa League final defeat, leaving the club without European football next season.
  • Beckham highlighted a decline in discipline, comparing the current team unfavourably with his former side that he said understood the badge’s significance and respected global supporters.
  • Manager Ruben Amorim faces overhauling standards on and off the pitch while operating under financial constraints imposed by the loss of European revenue.
