Becks MLS thumbs-up

- FROM STEVE BRENNER in Miami

DAVID BECKHAM hopes to unleash his MLS team by 2020 after putting an end to his stadium nightmare.

Beckham has been waiting three years to find the right area for a 25,000capacit­y arena in Miami.

But, after officials voted in favour of the Miami Beckham United group buying a plot of land in Overtown, he hopes to get a team up and running in three years’ time.

Tim Leiweke, Becks’ right-hand man, said: “When you have someone like David Beckham in charge, the world’s best players are going to be interested.”
