I was never world-class - Beckham

David Beckham insists he took no offence when Alex
Ferguson did not include him on a list of "world-class"
Manchester United players.

David Beckham says that he agrees with Alex Ferguson in
regards to Manchester United only ever having four "world-
class" players at the club during the Scot's tenure at Old
Trafford.

Speaking at the launch of his latest book, 'Leading', earlier this
week, Ferguson said that Eric Cantona, Ryan Giggs, Paul
Scholes and Cristiano Ronaldo were the only world-class
players that he managed in his 26 years at the club.

And, when asked if he was offended by being left off the list,
Beckham insisted that he agreed with his former manager.

"I don't take it as an insult at all, I played for the greatest
manager of all time for the amount of time that I did," the former
England captain told BBC Sport.

"I was lucky to have played with the players that I did, and the
team that I did and be successful with the club that I loved and
still love.

"I tend to agree with the manager.

There were certain players
that I played with that were world-class, but I'm proud to have
been successful as a player, and I'm proud that, as a fan, we
have the best players at the club."
