MLS RUMORS: David Beckham Recruiting Wayne Rooney For MLS Miami Club

David Beckham is working his English connection with Wayne Rooney to make him his first signing in MLS.

Wayne Rooney is being targeted by David Beckham for his Miami MLS team, according to the Daily Star. Beckham has run into a few snags for his MLS club, but it sounds like a stadium deal is almost done, which means the players are next up.

The move for Rooney would take place after his contract with Manchester United expires in 2019, barring a massive drop in production,according to Sportings News.

Rooney is 29 and just broke the England goalscoring record with his 50th goal last week. There is plenty of life left in the Englishman, but by the time he were to make the possible jump to Beckham's club, he would be 34 and not nearly as productive as he is now or will be over the next two to three seasons. 

MLS continues to get a bad reputation for being a "retirement" league and in some ways that statement is very true. The likes of Frank Lampard, Andrea Pirlo and Steven Gerrard that recently came over to play make anyone's argument about the "old" league valid. While the league is still run by many young and talented players, the amount of older Europeans coming over is something of a concern for the league that want's to become a world power in the near future. 

If Rooney does make the trip over to Miami in 2019, he will make for some great headlines, but his presence won't help win a club any championships. 

Next David Beckham?! Harper Seven tells Victoria Beckham ‘Mummy, I want to play football’

Victoria Beckham has revealed that we are very likely to catch Harper Seven taking after her dad on the football pitch...

With New York Fashion Week currently hitting the ground (and our future bank balances) running, it’s safe to say Victoria Beckham and her fancy, fancy clothes are more than in their element.

A recent interview with the 41-year-old mum, however, has revealed that Fashion Week might just catch lil’ miss Harper Seven rocking up in none other than her footie boots- probably getting mud all over the catwalks whilst annoyed and well dressed people bellow things like ‘soooooo last season’…

And this is all because Harper wants to be a football player!

An interview with ABC news saw Victoria despair of her four kids, who won’t stop playing football in the house.

When asked if she can see 4-year-old Harper perusing a career in footie, Vics replies ‘she loves fashion, as every little girl does… but she loves sport, she’s a little tomboy. She said to me the other day ‘Mummy I think I want to play football’… dagger to my heart’.

Considering the English Women’s football team already gifted Harper with very her own personalised football kit back in June, it looks like the gal’s got prospects!

It is at this point that we would suggest Vics is regretting the day she married David Beckham, but c’mon- would ANYONE regret marrying Becks?! Even your own cat would roll out the ‘I do’s’ without any qualms…

Victoria also touched on the secret Beckham recipe to making stonking good children, telling ABC  ‘we’ve always been strict with the children’.

She continued, ‘they have great manners and they always say ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ and I think that’s very important’, adding ‘at the same time, they’re still fun and they run around the house and they’re crazy and they’re singing and they’re dancing and they’re kicking footballs around…which I don’t allow them to do but that seems to be one area that I can’t discipline them in’.

Vics also added that she was ‘so proud’ of the eldest in her brood, 16-year-old Brooklyn, having topped off a very successful year in passing all his GCSE’s with a cover for UK’s Miss Vogue magazine.

We won’t lie Vics, with a family like that we don’t think you should be sweating anything at all. Except, you know, why your DNA appears to be superhuman…

David Beckham optimistic of progress on Miami MLS franchise

David Beckham says Miami deserves its own MLS franchise

David Beckham is hopeful of making progress in the next two months in his bid to establish an MLS franchise in Miami.

Beckham's stay in MLS with the Los Angeles Galaxy brought him an option to purchase an expansion team at a reduced price and he selected Miami as his market, only to find trouble over a stadium site.

The Miami Beckham United group, which also includes 'American Idol' creator Simon Fuller, has been exploring stadium options for a while and saw an earlier downtown waterfront site blocked by local business interests.

Miami mayor Tomas Regalado said in July the group were planning to build a stadium near the Miami Marlins baseball ground.

The site, which is near the downtown part of the city, had previously been rejected as a possible base for the franchise, which was announced last year.

"It's been frustrating over the last year and a half with the announcement first and then we had a couple of difficult times, which we knew would happen at some point because you can't everything smooth sailing," Beckham told Sky Sports News HQ.

"But everyone in Miami is excited about us bringing a team there. We are getting closer. 

"There is a lot of positivity around the city and I've always said that Miami is a place that is going to love a team. They need a team and want a team. 

"I think the fans are excited and hopefully in the next couple of months we'll be able to make an announcement."

David Beckham backs Ryan Giggs as next Manchester United manager

Former Man Utd midfielder David Beckham says he hopes his ex-teammate Ryan Giggs will be the club's next manager.

David Beckham hopes Ryan Giggs will be Manchester United's next manager.

Giggs had four games as United boss at the end of the 2013/14 season after David Moyes was sacked.

And he stayed at the club following Louis van Gaal's appointment to work as the Dutchman's assistant after retiring as a player.

Van Gaal's contract is due to expire in 2017. And Beckham has backed his former team-mate Giggs as the perfect man for the job.

Beckham said: "To be a player who has represented one club through his career, that doesn't happen anymore. For a player to have represented his club and his country the way he has and now.

"At some point, he will hopefully become United manager in the future."
