England boss wants help from former Man United legend

England boss Roy Hodgson wants to find a way to get former England and Manchester United star David Beckham in his Three Lions set up.

The 39-year-old made 115 appearances for England and worked under former England manager Fabio Capello as a ‘player liaison’ during the 2010 World Cup.

And after a lacklustre 2014 World Cup campaign and a dire 1-0 win over Norway, the former Liverpool manager has decided that he wants to install some Becks appeal.

Hodgson said: “Someone of David’s stature, with his qualities and personality, I’m 100 per cent certain if he can find the time to lend his presence to the FA they would be happy to find role for him.

“If he could make himself available for England in some way or another I have no doubt in my mind that Greg Dyke and Alex Horne would welcome his presence within an England capacity.”

And it seems the midfielder would be keen on getting involved with the set-up.

Beckham said: “I only retired just over a year ago and obviously I’ve been busy with stuff I’ve been doing but, if I can help in any way for the future of England and the future of English football, I will.

“That’s one of the things I’m very proud of. To actually come to the end of my career and be an ambassador for my country around the world. If there was any way in the future, when I’m not as busy, that I can help then I would be very proud of that.”
