Becks was on hand for the end of best friend Gary Neville's career in a friendly against Juventus.

The former England captain renewed his partnership on the right flank with defender Neville that worked so well for club and country in the past, but United lost to Juventus 2-1.

Manuel Giandonato and Simone Pepe netted for the Italian Serie A side, after Wayne Rooney's opener for the English Premier League champion which had not lost at home all season. Beckham and Neville were reunited with other members of the so-called "Fergie's Fledglings", including Nicky Butt, Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs.

Giggs made his first public appearance since being revealed as the footballer covered by a privacy injunction, hours after journalists' cars were attacked and vandalized outside his house.

Neville left the pitch to a standing ovation after 83 minutes. He won the Champions League, eight Premier League titles, three FA Cups, two League Cup titles, the Intercontinental Cup and the Club World Cup along the way.
