David Beckham has said Manchester United have set themselves the target of remaining unbeaten all season as a send-off to Sir Alex Ferguson.
Beckham said: "To win every trophy we play in would be a fitting last season, wouldn't it? The Premiership, the European Cup, the FA Cup, the Worthington Cup. And to not lose a game all season.
"Every year, the manager always says: 'We want to go through the whole season without losing a game'. That would be great this year.
"It might be his last year but I don't think he has mellowed one bit. Even when he finishes, he won't be taking his foot off any pedals".
Beckham said the Scot still earns the "ultimate respect" at Old Trafford. "He's got an aura about him," Beckham said in the Manchester United magazine. "When he walks into a room, people take notice.
"I've grown up with it and plenty of others around here have too. We've got the ultimate respect for him".
