David Beckham made his debut the last time Albion hosted Manchester United in the League Cup

It was as a late replacement for Andrei Kanchelskis in the 1-1 draw at Goldstone 28 years ago this month

The third-place Seagulls scored by Matt Edwards soon after to secure a 1-1 draw, although they lost the second-round draw 2-1 on aggregate

Albion head coach Graham Potter was asked if Beckham’s further progress from that humble start could be an inspiration to his own youngsters.

He replied: « Absolutely, yes He had a wonderful career, was a fantastic player, an incredible servant to the game, a great ambassador.

« And I’m sure our players and the Manchester United players who are playing – young and old as they are – will be looking to try to be positive in the game and hope it’s an experience they can use positively to kick off their career or start their career  »
