Manchester United legend David Beckham was left red-faced after eagle-eyed fans identified an interesting detail in his family’s 2021 Christmas photo.

Unfortunately for Beckham, fans immediately noticed that the Inter Miami co-owner and president was standing on his tippy-toes for the photo.
The 47-year-old former England captain is approximately 5’11”, with his additional height boost from his tiptoes putting him slightly shy of Romeo.
Romeo, who is following in his father’s footsteps after turning pro, is stood next to Beckham in the photo and is believed to be 6’1”.
