"I don't mean to demean or criticise any of the great or very good footballers who played for me during my 26-year career at United, but there were only four who were world class: Cantona, Giggs, Ronaldo and Scholes," Sir Ferguson wrote.

When he was asked if he was insulted by his omission, Beckham told : “Not at all.”

“I played for the greatest manager of all time for the amount of time that I did, I was lucky to play with the players I did and be successful with the club that I loved and still love.

“I tend to agree with the manager. There's certain players that you can call world-class, thankfully I played with many of them.
