Cruz Beckham rocks Manchester United shirt in a sweet nod to his proud dad David who watches him on stage in the city after family extend an olive branch to  Brooklyn on his 27th birthday

Cruz Beckham rocked a Manchester United football shirt in honour of his father David, who turned up to support him as he took his The Time For Your Love tour to the city on Wednesday.

David, 50, who played for the team for 12 years, was every inch the proud father as he watched his 21-year-old son and his band The Breakers perform on stage at The Deaf Institute alongside former player Nicky Butt. 

Just hours earlier, David, Victoria, Cruz and Romeo offered a public olive branch to Brooklyn with Instagram posts to mark his 27th birthday – six weeks after he made his bombshell statement stating he had no wishes to reconcile with his family. 

For the gig, David cut a casual figure in a cream beanie as he joined Manchester United star Nicky and his best friend David Gardner. 

Cruz’s girlfriend Jackie Apostel, 30, who has been travelling around the UK with the band, was also seen at the show.  

Jackie, who is a singer, cut a stylish figure in a furry brown jacket and denim jeans. 

Meanwhile, Victoria and their son Romeo gave the show a miss as they are over in Paris for the city’s Fashion Week. 

David and Victoria reportedly ‘want to draw a line’ under the heartbreaking feud with Brooklyn. 

Sharing childhood photos of Brooklyn, David used his childhood nickname for his son, Buster, as he wrote ’27 today. Happy Birthday Bust. We love you x’

Minutes later Victoria shared the same photo and wrote ‘happy birthday Brooklyn, we love you so much’. She then uploaded a photo of herself laughing with her son with a string of love hearts.

Cruz, meanwhile, shared a sweet throwback of Brooklyn holding him as a baby and wrote: ‘I love you’.  

Sources said: ‘They can rise above the attacks and see the bigger picture which is that they will love their son no matter what. They love him unconditionally, and will always do. 

‘It’s not just David and Victoria being forced to reach out this way, his three aunts posted too.

‘It just goes to show that everyone wishes him the best, and everyone is prepared to draw a line under everything as they love and care for him so much’, a pal told The Mirror.

The friend added it is ‘still desperately sad that the only way they could communicate was via social media’.

Daily Mail has contacted The Beckhams’ representatives for comment. 

Brooklyn’s brother Romeo posted his own childhood throwback snap with his sibling on Wednesday afternoon, but didn’t include a caption.

His grandparents – Ted and Hilary Beckham – also posted pictures in honour of Brooklyn’s birthday and included photos of his wife Nicola.

Alongside the snaps, they wrote: ‘Happy birthday Brooklyn. Hope you have a fabulous day. With love from Grandad and Hilary.’ 

Cruz, the youngest son of David and Victoria, kicked off his UK tour last Wednesday and has been steadily stepping into the spotlight in his own right.

Last week, Cruz told how his girlfriend Jackie is the woman behind his success.

Alongside a snap of the beauty, he penned: ‘I don’t think anybody understands how much Jackie does for us.

‘Throughout these last few years Jackie has connected the band, connected teams, constantly making sure s**t gets done, none of this would be happening without her.

‘Just a little appreciation post for the fifth member of the breakers. She is the driving force of the band. She has gone overboard with making sure content all of you see is the best of the best.

‘Jackie we are forever grateful for you and I hope you know, we appreciate you more than you can imagine.’

The tour has been a big moment for Cruz, who has been working up to his sold out gigs following the release of his single, For Your Love.

The couple have been dating since 2024, after they were first spotted together at Glastonbury.

Cruz announced his debut headline show with The Breakers at The Courtyard Theatre in London on March 27, which sold out in a matter of minutes.

He followed up the announcement with a full UK and EU tour, kicking off in Birmingham on February 25, before journeying to Cardiff, Bristol, Leeds, Glasgow, Manchester, Southampton, Brighton, Paris, Amsterdam and Berlin, before culminating in three nights in London at The Courtyard Theatre.

Cruz recently released the music video for his new single For Your Love.

The Stone Roses inspired clip is a huge ode to his family as brother Romeo gets a namecheck, they film in his father David’s favourite pie and mash restaurant and even his grandad Tony Adams gets a cameo.

For Your Love follows his debut single Optics released in October last year alongside Lick The Toad, marking the beginning of Cruz’s music career.

The video features Cruz alongside his band The Breakers, formed of Dan Ewins, Telmo Seixas and Dario Scotti, and features a cameo from his grandad Tony – Victoria’s mum.
