David Beckham Exposes ex-Man Utd Teammate Who 'Talked Too Much'

The former Manchester United winger called out his old teammate on CBS

David Beckham exposed a former Manchester United teammate who 'talked too much'.

The Manchester United and England legend appeared on CBS Sports Golazo for a special 'Beckham and Friends Preview show' ahead of the Champions League, which returns on Tuesday night.

Beckham joined Jamie Carragher and Micah Richards on the show, with presenter Kate Abdo putting the trio through quick-fire question and answer session. One question which prompted debate was when she asked which played they wished they had swapped shirts with during their careers

But there was one question that did not require much thought from Beckham. He was asked which teammate he would not want to be stuck in a traffic jam with and he immediately replied: "Gary Neville."

When asked to explain, he said: "He loves a debate and talks too much."

The answer sparked laughter from Carragher and Richard, who spend plenty of time with Neville through their work at Sky Sports.

Despite Beckham's answer, he and Neville have collaborated on several ventures over the years.

The pair originally formed a formidable partnership down Manchester United's right hand side, having made their debuts in 1993 and playing together until 2003, when Beckham left for Real Madrid.

They developed a close relationship both on and off the pitch, winning six Premier League titles and a Champions League crown. After United's historic treble in May 1999, Neville was Beckham's best man when he married Spice Girls member Victoria in July 1999.

Their friendship has continued beyond their playing careers, with Beckham and Neville continuing to work together in football.

Earlier this year, the duo formed a new consortium to take over Salford City, buying out the remainder of the Class of 92's shares.

While Nicky Butt, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes and Phil Neville are no longer shareholders, they remain involved in various roles at the club.

Upon the announcement, Beckham posted on Instagram: "I'm so proud to be part of a new ownership group alongside my mate [Gary Neville] as we begin the next chapter of Salford's journey."

Beckham also stuck up for his friend last year, when it was revealed that Nottingham Forest had banned Neville from the City Ground.

On Instagram, he joked: "Must have been something to do with that 7-1 game back in the day."

He had downplayed the score though, with United actually winning 8-1 against Forest back in February 1999.
