David Beckham teases comeback aged 48 as Man Utd legend leaves fans stunned with still-flawless free-kick ability
DAVID BECKHAM has teased a comeback after proving he has not lost his magic touch.
The former Manchester United star stunned fans with his free-kick ability – which is as good as ever.
Becks, 48, has swapped the pitch for the boardroom in his role as Inter Miami co-owner, but he put himself to the test on a sunny afternoon at the DRVPNK stadium.
He lined up a free-kick from around 20 yards out, albeit without a wall, and curled the ball into the top corner with flawless technique.
There was nothing the goalkeeper could do to stop the strike and Beckham could not help but brag a little.
He captioned the video: “Guess I’m coming back.”
Fans were wowed by the shot and some even drew comparisons to Lionel Messi, who scored a free-kick on his Inter Miami debut last week.
One said: “Lionel Beckham.”
Another added: “The king of free-kicks.”
A third wrote: “The real goat.”

And another commented: “If it was between Messi and Beckham to take that last-minute free-kick I would do with Becks all day.”
Messi continued his brilliant start to life in Miami with two goals and an assist in the 4-0 win over Atlanta United.
