David Beckham and his son Brooklyn cut a very dismal figure after Manchester City scored within the opening 12 seconds against Man Utd in Saturday’s Emirates FA Cup final.
However, the football star’s initial desperation soon turned to joy when his former club equalized in the 33rd minute of the hard-fought game at London’s Wembley Stadium.
David, 48, jumped out of his chair after Bruno Fernandes’ goal and flapped the air with joy while Brooklyn, 24, cheered next to him.
Unfortunately, the joy of the two was short-lived, because in the second half Gündogan scored another direct hit and the score was 2:1.
The father of four, whose professional football career began when he was just 17 with Manchester United, dressed up to support his old team at the stadium.
