David Beckham has taken to social media to defend Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger against the "attention seekers" calling for his departure.

Wenger has come under increased pressure in recent weeks, with the Gunners recording just one win from their last seven games in all competitions, the 4-0 victory at the KC Stadium.

The run has included three defeats, the latest Sunday's 2-1 home loss to Watford which ended their chances of securing a third successive FA Cup triumph.
