OMG if it wasnt enough with Benitez and Torres now we have the Beckham circus .....BRING ON THE CLOWNS

I wonder if we'd have signed him up if his surname was Bernard or Barnsley instead.

Don't know if he's any good but hopefully it will raise the profile of our academy without being too much of a distraction, plus I know some manc fans who still idolize Beckham that will be miffed he didn't have a trial there.

Why he didn't go to United ? Maybe our academy is the best

Because of his dad he will probably be marketable and sell loads of shirts when he is older, which will mean he will get chances in the first team before any one his age (even if they are better).

He would not have even got into the bottom corner of The Guardian...

Adidas. London.

I really think we shouldn't be having a discussion about a 13-year-old here, even if he is the son of a well-known player. Would be better to just let the kid focus on his football for a few years before starting all the hype.

Maybe David is about to join a London based club?

May be because David doesn't want anyone to throw a show at his son.

The hype started the moment he popped out of a pop star and in to the arms of arguably the most famous man on the planet.

Hopefully he's got his old man's work ethic and makes a name for himself.

With all the shit going around at this club, his son should be able to remain relatively low profile. People will be talking about 1) Roman 2) Manager 3) Veterans 4) Disgruntled players 5) players shooting air rifles before they mention a Beckham kid scoring at a U14 match.

lol he's number 517

He can already do something our £50 million striker can't.....score in an open goal at Old Trafford.

And now how about little Ivan?! He made a run over a half of the pitch and then scored!

Meh, he's 13.. Not going to hear about him again for another 5 years or so.

Just one question. Isn't Brooklyn a girl's name?
