David Beckham says Manchester United's Premier League-winning side of 2011 is one of the club's best of all time.

Manager Sir Alex Ferguson could clinch his third domestic and European Cup double when United play Barcelona in the Champions League final on Saturday.

Ex-United midfielder Beckham told BBC Radio 5 live: "They are up there with the best United sides of all time; the proof is in the trophies they have won.

"People have criticised the team but you can't ask for more than that."

United signed off their domestic campaign with a 4-2 victory against relegated Blackpool, preserving a season-long unbeaten record at Old Trafford.

Ferguson dismissed critics who claimed his team are not as talented as their league-winning predecessors as "talking nonsense", lauding his current team's indefatigable spirit as they finished nine points ahead of nearest rivals Chelsea.

Los Angeles Galaxy star Beckham, who won six Premier League titles during his career at Old Trafford, believes the current squad can build on that success under Ferguson.
