Former Manchester United and Real Madrid midfielder David Beckham has hinted at a return to football with the Major League Soccer team that he is preparing to launch.
Beckham retired from football in 2013 after a brief spell with French outfit Paris Saint-Germain.
In his 20-year long career, Beckham has scored 129 goals in 719 club appearances and has also added a total of 17 international goals to his name.
The 39-year-old, who was part of Los Angeles Galaxy between 2007 and 2012, is launching his own MLS expansion team, which will start operating in 2016 or 2017, depending on a stadium to be built.
