Man Utd legend Charlton happy Beckham made Old Trafford trip before injury

Manchester United director and legend Sir Bobby Charlton is pleased David Beckham was able to say his farewell to Old Trafford fans before his injury on Sunday.

In a column for the Daily Telegraph, Charlton wrote: "It could be the end of his career. I sincerely hope that it isn't, but it's a possibility. He will be really disappointed now because he will not get another opportunity to play in a World Cup.

"But David is a big lad and you never know what will happen. He might come back and start playing again, but he has a serious injury and you cannot speculate on the outcome.

"Hopefully, he will be able to play again, once he has had his operation and his treatment. I really hope that it works out all right for him.

"My international career ended on the pitch for England when we lost to West Germany in the World Cup in 1970, but David's looks to have ended a different way and I'm sure that is something that he will regret, if this injury does mean he has played for England for the last time.

"I'm just glad he was able to play at Old Trafford once again last week when he came back with AC Milan for the Champions League game. That was a nice moment for him and for the supporters."
