David Beckham believes that it "would be amazing" if former Manchester United teammate Ryan Giggs became Red Devils boss in the future.

David Beckham has backed former Manchester United teammate Ryan Giggs to become Red Devils manager one day.

The duo enjoyed 11 successful years together at Old Trafford and Giggs is now assistant to current United boss Louis van Gaal.

"I have always said that Giggsy has this streak running through him that you see in top managers," Beckham said today at a press conference promoting a UNICEF charity match.

"I saw it as a player. He is so determined and when you have got someone like that at a club like this, someone who is from this part of the world and knows so much about this club - it's so embedded into him - it means so much to fans, so I hope that at some point Giggsy does take over.

"It might not be for the next five or 10 years but at some point it would be amazing for the fans to have him."

Beckham will return to Old Trafford and be managed by Sir Alex Ferguson in the November 14 charity match.
