Man Utd legend Beckham welcomes foreign influx

Manchester United legend David Beckham believes the club can handle their influx of foreign stars.

Beckham admits it's a big change from his days with the club.

The 39-year-old former United winger and ex-England captain told the BBC: "I can only speak from my experience of foreign players coming in, and for me, that is what made the Premier League really exciting - to see young talent from England coming through, but also seeing great players like Eric Cantona and David Ginola.

"Without a doubt it inspired me and gave me great experience to see players like that coming to our league.

"Yes, we always worry about the young talent coming through, and obviously seeing Danny leave Manchester United is sad.

"But the manager knows what he is doing, and is doing what he feels is the best for the club."
