Fans dub David Beckham’s dream 5-a-side team ‘probably the best ever’ as legend picks just one former Man Utd team-mate

DAVID BECKHAM has named his dream 5-a-side team and fans reckon it could be the “best ever”.

Becks sat down with former teammate Rio Ferdinand on Rio Meets to put together the best 5-a-side team he could, made entirely of players that he has played alongside during his career.

The retired England star certainly has a long list of stars to pick from with a glittering career that saw him play for Real Madrid, PSG, Manchester United and AC Milan amongst others.

And the five stars he put together certainly caught the imagination of football fans as they wondered what it would be like to see the list of icons link up on the pitch.

Opting to build his squad without a goalkeeper, Beckham chose two defender, two midfielders and one bagsman.

His defensive duo was made up of Roberto Carlos, who he lined up with at Real Madrid, and Paolo Maldini, who Becks played alongside during his spell with AC Milan.

While the first of his midfielders was Zinedine Zidane, another superstar that Beckham encountered during his time in Madrid.

Speaking on why he chose to include the France legend, Beckham gushed: “You play him a ball anywhere on the pitch. Any height, any level, any speed – he’s bring it down.”

Partnering the 1998 Ballon d’Or winner in the middle of the park would be Roy Keane.

Keane, the only Manchester United star to make the cut, was chosen for his leadership.

Beckham added: “You need a leader and you need someone that’s going to actually going to tackle and fight and be the player that he is”.

The cherry on top of Beckham’s all-time 5-a-side team was none other than two-time Ballon d’or winner and two-time World Cup champion, Ronaldo Nazario.

Beckham couldn’t hide his excitement when talking about playing with Ronaldo during his career.

He said: “[He’s] one of the greatest and most natural goalscorers that I’ve ever seen.”

Beckham’s stacked team left fans gushing about the talent that the Inter Miami owner has played alongside during his career.

Taking to social media, one fan wrote: “Can’t argue with any of those picks. Probably the best 5-a-side team ever.”

While another added: “Absolutely no arguments with that five. Majestic line up”.

A third commented: “Ridiculous five-a-side team. They would go unbeaten for years on end.”

And a fourth posted: “Beckham’s 5-a-side team is bound to be legendary.”

‘I need this in my life’ cry shoppers as they race to Asda for Halloween decor that’s ‘perfect for 90s kids’

HALLOWEEN fans are racing to their nearest Asda to bag a hilarious decoration that’s “perfect for 90s kids”.

The supermarket has gone viral on social media after unveiling its skeleton item that’s available in stores now.

In a short video, which has racked up 388,000 views, two animated skeletons can be seen walking forwards and backwards carrying a coffin between them in the decorations aisle.

And people can’t help but compare it to the Chuckle Brothers and their famous catchphrase: “To me! To you!”

One shopper joked: “To me…… to you lol 90s kids in uk know what I mean lol.”

A second echoed: “Need to watch this with the Chuckle Brothers to me to you playing “.

Meanwhile, a third wrote: “To you to me”, accompanied by the laughing emoji.

The £25 decoration is also providing fun for people trying it out in store.

“I went into Asda and saw that walking. I fell on the floor wheezing and laughing it was so random”, admitted one amused customer.

Someone else chimed in: “My husband took me to this aisle at the weekend just to show me this item.”

A third gushed: “Ok why do I neeed this in my life. I can’t adult and don’t want to. This is what adult life is for.”

A fourth said: “I couldn’t stop playing with this in shop when I seen them. Yes I’m a big kid”

“Hold on I genuinely wanna buy this”, cried a fifth.

And a sixth wrote: “My mum bought this as soon as she saw it.”

Some shoppers, however, had the same complaint about the viral decoration – claiming it’s too expensive.

“Wow pricey. I’ll wait for the sale after Halloween”, sighed one.

Someone else revealed: “I saw that yesterday I was going to buy it but I only had £7.”

But the decoration could prove perfect for those one in five Brits (21%) who admit to being secretly competitive against their neighbours when it comes to having the spookiest homes.

With that in mind, it’s perhaps not surprising that Asda bosses this week revealed that Halloween is currently the number one search term on George.com with 31,000 people looking up the word.
