David Beckham has been tipped for a surprise role at Manchester United if the Red Devils win their next two matches.
After a difficult start to the 25/26 season, United are now basking in great form.
Following victories against Sunderland, Liverpool and Brighton and Hove Albion, Ruben Amorim's men currently sit sixth in the Premier League table with 16 points.
Looking ahead, United have the chance to continue their winning run against Nottingham Forest at the City Ground this weekend.

One United fan in particular will be keeping a keen eye on the current winning streak.
Red Devils fan, Frank Ilett, also known as The United Strand, embarked on a challenge of not cutting his hair until United win five matches in a row.
391 days have gone by since the challenge began, and Frank is potentially just two matches away from a long-awaited haircut.
With United just two wins away from winning five in a row, ex-Red Devils winger Nani has tipped Beckham to cut Frank's hair if they manage to beat Forest and then Tottenham Hotspur.
Speaking to Covers.com, Nani said: "If that means that Man Utd is winning, I want him to cut his hair. We need two more games and I believe it's going to happen because of the way we've been playing, I think it’s deserved.
"Man Utd just need to be very, very disciplined during the next two games, staying humble and working hard. It doesn’t need to be 3-0 or 4-0, 1-0 is enough."
He added: "I think after he cuts his hair then everything will change and we will look forward. I think he’d like a legend to cut his hair and I think David Beckham should do it, he’s had plenty of practice. He’d be perfect!"
Earlier in the month, after beating Liverpool at Anfield, defender Diogo Dalot also touched on Frank's challenge.
He told DAZN: "Let' see... We hope that we can give him that haircut. But we have to go game by game. Obviously, we know this is a very difficult league, we have tough games and, of course, we have to go after that consistency that we have lacked because we have already shown in the past that we can compete against any team in the world."
