London, Mar 17 (ANI): Ace midfielder David Beckham was booed and got booked as LA Galaxy started their new MLS season with a 1-0 win at Seattle.
Fans made Beckham the lone target for their jeers and Galaxy struggled without four first-team regulars.
Beckham insisted that he was just happy to be back in action after his on-off loan deal with Spurs.
“I came to the United States to win a championship - and I still want to do that,” The Sun quoted him, as saying.
“I’ve had some injuries in the past and I’m now 35 but I’ve worked hard in the off-season to get my body right,” Beckham said.
“I had the weight of the league on my shoulders when I arrived here. But I’ve certainly seen improvements in the American game,” he said.
“We have some new teams coming into the league, attendance is up in certain areas - and all that makes me proud,” Beckham added. (ANI)
