David Beckham fires subtle dig at Man United players in 15-word message after watching Ruben Amorim's side win away at Man City

Former Manchester United star David Beckham described Sunday's 2-1 derby victory over Manchester City as a 'big win'. United, managed in a derby by new boss Ruben Amorim for the first time, were losing until the 88th minute courtesy of a first-half strike from Josko Gvardiol.

But Bruno Fernandes equalised from a penalty before Amad Diallo - who had won the spot-kick - netted a late winner. Despite Sunday's impressive result, United remain in the bottom half of the Premier League table after making a poor start to the season, largely under former boss Erik ten Hag.

Amorim has now overseen four wins in seven games since replacing Ten Hag, having made significant changes in terms of tactics and team selection. The ex-Sporting manager took the bold decision to leave Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho out of his squad for Sunday's game, despite later admitting that both players had been fit.

While it is not clear that he was referring directly to Rashford and Garnacho, Beckham appeared to fire a subtle dig at some of United's players in a 15-word message posted to Instagram on Sunday night. Beckham - who is now the president and co-owner of Inter Miami - wrote: 'And the rebuild begins. Big win. Big win with players who wanna wear this jersey.'.
