Beckham apparently required two stitches after being accidentally struck by a boot kicked by Ferguson.
Understandably United have played down reports.
According to The Sun, Beckham sustained the head injury as Ferguson vented his fury in the aftermath of Saturday's 2-0 FA Cup defeat by Arsenal at Old Trafford.
United refused to comment saying: ``Whatever happens in the dressing room remains private.''
FROM THE SUN:
‘DAVID Beckham needed stitches in a head wound after Sir Alex Ferguson kicked a football boot in his face during an amazing dressing room bust-up. Becks, 27, needed two stitches after the Manchester United manager exploded at his players for losing to Arsenal in the FA Cup fifth round on Saturday.
Sir Alex stormed into the Old Trafford dressing room and lashed out at the boot. It flew across the room and struck England captain Beckham.
The midfield ace reacted furiously. Becks was given stitches and left the ground with a dressing on his head 25 minutes before the other players.
He went straight to his car with wife Victoria, 28, and son Brooklyn, three. There is no suggestion Sir Alex, 61, meant to hurt Beckham, who had been taken off the pitch in the second half after injuring his right leg.
