Beckham ponders his soccer future

Nearly a month after leaving the Los Angeles Galaxy, David Beckham is considering “a number of serious proposals” but is in no rush to find a new team. Beckham (pictured right) has been linked to clubs in France, Australia and Asia in what would be the final chapter of the illustrious career of the 37-year-old midfielder and former England captain. A “host of clubs” have made offers, Beckham’s management company said in a statement to The Associated Press on Thursday, but it remains “early days in the process.” Beckham ended his five-year stint in the United States by helping the Galaxy win the MLS Cup on Dec. 1. He has said it’s unlikely he will return to the English Premier League, where he starred for Manchester United from 1993 to 2003. – AP
