David Beckham reunited with his former manager Sir Alex Ferguson to watch Chelsea face Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League in the French capital, Daily News reported.

Beckham, who ascended the stands alongside former French President Nicolas Sarkozy, took up pride of place at the Parc des Princes to watch his former club.

The 39-year-old ended his playing career with PSG in 2013, making ten appearances in the French team's Ligue 1 winning campaign.

Beckham also enjoyed successful spells with Real Madrid, LA Galaxy, AC Milan following his all-conquering spell at Manchester United, where Sir Alex was his manager.

The pair enjoyed a close relationship at the start of Beckham's career at the club, but this deteriorated in the early noughties, following his marriage to Victoria.

In 2000, Sir Alex allowed Beckham to miss a training to look after a sickly Brooklyn, then one, but after discovering that Victoria had attended a fashion event that evening, the then-ManU manager fined Beckham two weeks' wages and dropped him from a match.

Sir Alex argued that David should have attended the training and Victoria look after Brooklyn, and has since publicly blamed the marriage for changed Beckham's 'professional priorities'.

'He was never a problem until he got married,' Sir Alex said during a Q&A session in Glasgow in 2007.
