The Red Devils have won just four major trophies since Ferguson바카라™s departure, with their most recent 바카라“ an EFL Cup win last season 바카라“ ending a six-year wait for silverware.

United have not won a Premier League title since the Scot바카라™s final season in charge, with six managers failing to reclaim the top-flight crown since then.

This season, Erik ten Hag바카라™s side are at risk of recording their lowest league finish and points tally, as they sit eighth on 54 points with two games remaining.

Beckham, who won 13 trophies, including six Premier League titles and the Champions League, told The Athletic: "I think it has been a difficult time over the last five or ten years, but it was always going to be when the boss left the club.

"It wasn바카라™t just that, we lost players like Ryan Giggs, Roy Keane and Gary Neville, all of these players that had been at United for so long; you lose part of that, and you lose part of the club.

"So it was always going to be a difficult time. But we바카라™d like it to change pretty quickly because I think it바카라™s gone on for too long now."

United have lost 19 games in all competitions this season, their most since 1977-78 (also 19), with nine of those coming at Old Trafford 바카라“ their joint-most at home in a season and the first time it has happened in the Premier League.

Their 1-0 defeat to Arsenal on Sunday marked the first time they had conceded in 10 successive games in all competitions since October 2021, while the 82 goals they have let in this season is their most since 1970-71 (also 82).

Beckham was speaking at the premiere of 99, the Amazon Prime documentary covering United바카라™s iconic treble-winning season 25 years ago.
