‘DAVID BECKHAM was sworn at and accused of being more committed to England than his club in a furious confrontation with Manchester United fans.

Fans began chanting 'It's just like watching City' as the team headed to the departure lounge for their flight home following the first leg of the Champions League qualifier.

Then one supporter went up to Becks and said 'You play better for England than United'.

One fan said: "Everyone was upset by the performance they had put on. Emotions were running high and Beckham was obviously furious at the suggestion he gives more for his country than United. All credit to him for standing up for himself. But the fans were not backing down and one told him where to go."’
