David Beckham sends brilliant message to Nottingham Forest ace after promotion

Manchester United legend David Beckham has congratulated Brennan Johnson on his promotion to the Premier League with Nottingham Forest.

Johnson, 21, has a close tie to the England star after his dad, David Johnson, and Beckham came through the Manchester United ranks as members of the class of 92.

Beckham has regularly been monitoring Johnson's activities this season and has routinely sent him messages throughout the campaign, including ahead of Forest's play-off final trip to Wembley.

And Beckham has once again shared his acknowledgement of the young Forest star in a post to his Instagram account.

In one post, he said: "What a season, what a player @brenjohnson_. Congratulations and welcome to the Premier League."

In another one, he said: "Big moment and back in the Premier League. Congratulations mate great season." He added that David Johsnon must be a "proud dad".

Brennan Johnson starred in Forest's 1-0 win over Huddersfield Town at Wembley to end a 23-year absence from the Premier League. He scored his 19th goal of the season in the play-off semi-final penalty shootout triumph over Sheffield United last week.

His impressive performances at the City Ground has resulted in a vast number of clubs taking an interest in his transfer situation - his contract is up for renewal next summer. Promotion to the Premier League could, however, change things in his dialogue with the club.
