Before the kickoff of Saturday's thrilling Premier League clash against Brentford, the name on everyone's lips was none other than former Manchester United icon David Beckham. His latest Netflix documentary had just graced screens worldwide, illuminating cherished memories of our historic Treble victory in 1999 and countless other magical moments from decades past.

 

However, as the final whistle echoed through the stadium, it was another name that echoed in the hearts of United fans – Scott McTominay.

 

Like Beckham, Scott is an Academy graduate, and he etched his name into the annals of United history during this gripping encounter. Coming off the bench, he pulled off a stunning feat, scoring two injury-time goals. In a matter of moments, the Reds had transformed from being 1-0 down to seizing a triumphant 2-1 lead.

 

In his post-match interview, McTominay's passion was palpable. He revealed that he had watched Beckham's documentary and emphasized a sentiment that resonates deeply within the United squad. He reaffirmed that the driving force behind their dedication is the people behind the scenes, from the tireless receptionist Kath Phipps to the culinary wizards in the kitchen.

 

"I was watching the David Beckham documentary last night, and you can see all the history and the people behind the club, and that's who the lads do it for, and that's what means the most," Scott articulated.

 

"It's so important that we all come together, and that's what it means at this football club – we do it for the people.

 

"That's the same as me; I'm a fan, so I want us to do well."

 

Beckham, a true Red at heart, echoes this sentiment and expressed it on the club's Instagram account following the exhilarating game.

 

"It's what it's always been about," he wrote in response to our video of McTominay's interview.

 

"Well said."

 

As Beckham's documentary, 'Beckham,' unfolds on Netflix, the connection between past and present, between legends and rising stars, continues to shine brightly at Manchester United.
