In a notable argument, Sir Alex threw a boot that hit Beckham in the face.

In the documentary, Beckham disclosed that his ex-employer hurled a boot in his direction following an argument where he told him to "go away."

The Daily Mail reported that Beckham commented about the situation: "As we entered the changing room, the manager appeared to be intensely angry. I could tell just by looking at his facial expression."

"When the boss has a facial expression like this, you don't want to be in close proximity to them. Nobody can replicate that expression, believe me."

"He was using foul language and I stood up to the boss and refused. Then I also used vulgar language and said the word beginning with 'f'."

"I noticed a transformation in him, and I immediately regretted my words. I believe I ended up using a curse word excessively."

The player who normally plays in the middle of the field was later observed wearing the injury while practicing.

In the documentary, Sir Alex revealed that he kicked a boot towards the individual's head. He mentioned that it was a bizarre and unexpected incident.

When questioned about the pictures, he responds with, "I'd prefer not to discuss it. My only thoughts on the matter are that it seemed quite orchestrated. It wasn't even significant enough to warrant attention."

The Sun reported that David mentioned he was aware that his football career would come to a close, which led him to seek out a post-football profession. This thought niggled at the manager.

"He simply wished for me to excel as a football player and tie the knot with a girl from our locality who wasn't famous."

The Daily Mirror reported that he admits his life had transformed and afterwards states that it didn't have any impact on him.

When the documentary asked Sir Alex about it, he spoke directly and said: "He definitely changed."

Beckham further shares about his sadness when he had to depart Manchester United and join Real Madrid in the next season.

According to Beckham, he expressed the need to speak with the leader and verify that his departure was truly desired. He begged not to leave, but was unable to reach out to the leader.

Have I ever desired to depart from Manchester United? Absolutely not, never.

This place was where I lived. The bond between the manager and myself was unique. We had our disagreements, but I still had affection for him.

According to Sir Alex, their connection has come to a standstill.

According to him, telling David that he was going to sell him would have been pointless.

A choice was arrived at, it was more advantageous for him to depart.

"He wasn't compelled to leave. He had the option to remain if he desired. In my opinion, he was aware that it was an appropriate juncture to depart."

To be frank, let me tell you that we were on opposite sides.

We were all united and supportive of each other before Madrid. Despite feeling like we were constantly facing opposition, we stayed connected as a team.

However, during our stay in Spain, we didn't have the feeling of closeness or connection between us.

"That's really unfortunate. Expressing the extent of the difficulty and personal impact it had on me is nearly impossible. It was an absolute horror."

Every day I was mistreated no matter where I went.

It can be extremely challenging to stroll along the road and encounter individuals who give you a specific look, spit on you, insult you, or even brazenly approach you and utter some of the most hurtful things.

I was struggling with not being able to eat or sleep which resulted in me feeling disorganized. I was at a loss on how to handle the situation.

I got a phone call from the manager, Alex Ferguson. He asked me how I was feeling. I became very sentimental and replied, "Not too good, boss." He comforted me and said, "It's okay, take your time." He even called me 'son'.
