LONDON
\nManchester United are set to undergo major changes after another disappointing season but former midfielder David Beckham hopes Cristiano Ronaldo sticks around for at least another year.
\nUnited\u2019s 4-0 hammering at Brighton & Hove Albion at the weekend means they cannot finish higher than sixth.
\nThe Old Trafford side have appointed Ajax Amsterdam manager Erik ten Hag to replace interim boss Ralf Rangnick from the end of the current campaign, with the Dutchman expected to revamp the squad during the close season.
\nRonaldo has scored 24 goals in all competitions this season and Beckham, who also wore United\u2019s number seven jersey, hopes the 37-year-old forward will stay on.
\n\u201cIt\u2019s important to him \u2014 we all know how much United means to him. He\u2019s still doing what he does best,\u201d Beckham told Sky Sports at the Miami Grand Prix.
\n\u201cTo be doing what he\u2019s doing at his age is really incredible so hopefully it continues for another year or two.\u201d
\nBeckham, who won six Premier League titles at United, said fans had stuck by the side through some difficult times, with United\u2019s last league title coming in the 2012-2013 season.
\n\u201cIt\u2019s been a tough end to the season. But it is the end of the season, I\u2019m sure a lot of fans are thankful of that because it\u2019s been a tough one \u2014 full of ups and downs,\u201d he said.
\n\u201cThe players have done what they can do best, so has the manager. I turned up at the stadium a few months back and every seat was filled so the fans still believe, they support, they turn up for the team.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
