David Beckham watches former club Manchester United put FA Cup defence on the line against Chelsea

David Beckham took his place in the stands at Stamford Bridge as Manchester United put their defence of the FA Cup on the line against Premier League leaders Chelsea on Monday night.

The 41-year-old was joined by former England manager Fabio Capello and present incumbent Gareth Southgate for the absorbing quarter-final as Jose Mourinho looked to prolong United's stay in this year's competition.

Beckham was pictured alongside his eldest son Brooklyn in front seats at the home of the Blues, with both wearing stylish tweed flat caps for the occasion.

The former England captain is now living in central London, and wouldn't have missed watching the United match for the world having won the FA Cup twice as a player, in 1996 and as part of a famous treble in 1999.
