David Beckham aims subtle dig at dropped Man Utd pair as legend makes feelings clear after Man City win
Manchester United sealed a dramatic victory over Manchester City on Sunday afternoon.
David Beckham appears to have aimed a slight dig at the two players dropped by Manchester United for their derby win over Manchester City.
On Sunday afternoon, United travelled across town to take on rivals City at the Etihad Stadium.
Prior to kick-off, the main talking point was the decision to omit Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho from the matchday squad, despite both reportedly being fit.
Manager Ruben Amorim explained his decision by stating: "Everything is on the line when we analyse and try to choose the players. It is my selection. Simple."

During what was a cagey first half, Pep Guardiola's men took the lead through Josko Gvardiol in the 36th minute as United's set-piece fragility reared its ugly head again.
However, the Red Devils had the last laugh as goals from Bruno Fernandes and Amad Diallo in the 88th and 90th minute sealed a dramatic 2-1 win for Amorim's side.

After the match, former United and England star Beckham took to social media to celebrate the win.
The 49-year-old posted a picture of Diallo and wrote: "And the rebuild begins. Big Win. Big Team win with players who wanna wear this jersey."
Reacting on social media, fans felt Beckham may have aimed a little dig at Rashford and Garnacho.
One fan said: "Those words were spot on."
Another tweeted: "He’s not lying tho. “Players who wanna wear this jersey.""
A third fan added: "Is this really a dig against Rashford and Garnacho? Or are people reading into it?"
Someone else wrote: "Hopefully Rashford and Garnacho have got the message."
A fifth commented: "Shots fired but we'll allow."
Speaking after the match, Diallo said: "Winning against City, a derby like this, away against them who are one of the best teams in the world, you can have only good feeling. I’m so happy.
"Today, we knew it was not easy, but this is a derby, if you want to win you have to be angrier than them and we showed that. We were angry and we are happy to win the game."
United will be back in action on Thursday when they take on Tottenham Hotspur in the Carabao Cup.
