David Moyes has been under a lot of pressure since taking over from Sir Alex Ferguson at the start of the season. Results have not been good and United already themselves a significant number of points behind table leaders Arsenal.

This has started to talk about United failing to retain the title, but Moyes has received backing from one of Manchester United's greatest players in the last two decades. David Beckham has said that he feels Moyes is a good manager, who is capable of doing the job at United.

Superstar footballer David Beckham recently announced his retirement from the sport after glorious years with the likes of Manchester United, Real Madrid, and AC Milan. He has achieved a lot in football.

Former Manchester United and Real Madrid midfielder David Beckham has said that he is now focused on cleaning up the image of Chinese football after being appointed as the brand ambassador for Chinese football.

Beckham recently announced his retirement from football after his contract with PSG came to an end. He has been at the French club for the last five months after signing a contract after the end of the transfer window. He effectively played for free after donating all his wages of just around £ 1 million a month to charity.

French national team manager Didier Deschamps has said that the Bayern Munich winger, Franck Ribery, has the potential to become the match winner against Spain in the World Cup qualifying match.

France will be taking on Spain in this crucial encounter knowing that they can pull away from the World and European champions if they manage a victory from the match. Despite saying this, Deschamps has acknowledged that it certainly will not be easy despite having drawn against Spain in the reverse fixture earlier in the season.

We are getting to that point in the Premier League season where those clubs in the vicinity of the relegation zone – and the fans who support them – start sweating and biting their nails a lot.

The same could be true of those who placed bets on the teams to be relegated before the start of the season – although a number of those struggling at the foot of the table are clubs that might have been expected to be there. So, for those thinking of betting on it now, which clubs are odds on for the drop?

The England manager Roy Hodgson has said that he believes that the Liverpool midfielder Steven Gerrard can continue playing for England for the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.

The influential midfielder is coming to the twilight of his career, and he will be 34 years of age before the start of the World Cup. This is usually the period when most of the players consider retiring from international football in order to focus on their club careers. Hodgson, though, believes that Gerrard will have the capability to carry on playing despite turning 34 years of age.
