David Beckham is a creative midfielder who is fast earning himself a reputation for scoring spectacular goals. When you see David play you can't help but be impressed by the accuracy and vision of his passing. However if you speak to any United supporter they will tell you that he has many other strengths to his game. He is hard working, strikes the ball cleanly and with great power, has a wonderful technique and is deadly with free kicks. While tackling is not one of his greatest strengths this is an aspect of his game that he is visibly improving. David has now developed into a great advert for the Manchester United youth policy.

David first kicked a ball at Old Trafford in December 1986 when as an 11 year old he became the TSB Bobby Charlton Soccer Skills Champion for his age group. The prize was a two week trip to train with Terry Venables' Barcelona side. In 1987 David made another appearance in front of the United fans as the United mascot for the away game at Upton Park.

When it can to signing for a club, David was influenced by the fact that he is a supporter of the Red Devils. He has always wanted to play for Manchester United and so United won the race for David's signature ahead of Arsenal and Tottenham.

David won his first honour with United when the United Youth side won the FA Youth Cup in May 1992. He didn't have to wait long to make his senior United debut. In September the following season he came on as a substitute for Andrei Kanchelskis in the League Cup at Brighton. Four months later, in January 1993, he turned professional with United.

At international level David represented England at Under 21 level in seasons 1994-95 and 1995-96. However at the start of the 1996-97 season Glenn Hoddle called David up to his first full England squad. Glenn is a huge fan of David's ability and the call up was a recognition of his excellent start to the season and showed that Glenn realizes the huge potential that David has. When fit and available, David has played all the England games under Glenn and has shown his versatility operating both in midfield and at wing back.

David is fast becoming one of Manchester United's most influential players having developed from being a United reserve to a full England international in a remarkably short time. Only time will tell what David can achieve in the game however he has already proved that he has the talent to become a truly great player.
