Beckham, Scholes still fear drinking alcohol in front of Fergie
L-R: Former Manchester United players Paul Scholes, Phill Neville, Ryan Giggs, Nicky Butt, David Beckham and Garry Neville
The former United manager is returning to the Old Trafford dugout next month to manage Beckham and a host of other stars in a charity match.
On his former manager's involvement in the match, Beckham told BBC Radio 1: "I called him and asked him
He's like a father figure to me
"The other day I saw him for the first time in a long time
We'd never even think about having a little glass of wine or beer (as players) in front of him but the other day someone handed me a glass of wine and I was talking to him (Ferguson) for 20 minutes with the wine hidden behind my back.
"Me, Nicky Butt and Paul Scholes all said the same thing, we all hid the glass of wine behind our back."
For 11 years Beckham was a member of Ferguson's all-conquering Manchester United team - but the pair had an acrimonious split in 2003 after the Scot accidentally kicked a boot that struck the former England captain above his left eye
Ferguson sold Beckham to Real Madrid four months after the dressing room incident and then criticised the former England captain in his autobiography.
