Patience is a virtue, for people like David Beckham who are die hard Manchester United fans, this virtue is running out of time if the Red Devils don't get results soon. However, Becks has already given his full support to Jose Mourinho, one of the most successful managers working today and according to David, the only man who can bring United back to glory.
Beckham spoke to the fans during a Q&A session in Johannesburg at the Discovery Leadership Summit, he talked about United's slump: "It was always going to happen. We have had a tough few years, but we have had a pretty good 20 years. I believe in Jose Mourinho. We knew if we hadn't played well, the first person who would be waiting for you in the tunnel would be Sir Alex Ferguson. There was a fear factor, but it was a good fear. You know what? I'm 41. I would crawl back to Manchester to play there again. But obviously it's not realistic."
He added: "Having the beautiful family that I do [is my most special achievement]. In my career, the one that makes me proudest was being captain of my country. Being given the captain's armband by Peter Taylor, that was my personal proudest moment. To be able to lead your team, your players, your nation out into the World Cup finals, that doesn't get much better. I'm a very proud Englishman. I was captain of my country for six years. I wasn't what you'd say was a natural leader. But what I did was work hard and thankfully I had team-mates around me that actually followed the lead. That was the way I led. To not win anything with England [is my biggest regret]."
