England snub spurred Beckham to move
Former England star Trevor Francis believes the "hurt" felt by David Beckham at being snubbed by England boss Steve McClaren contributed to his decision to quit Real Madrid for American side LA Galaxy.
Beckham relinquished the England captaincy after the World Cup - he insisted he wanted to continue playing for his country - but has been overlooked ever since by McClaren.
Francis said: "I was intrigued by David's decision, but I think he was terribly hurt by not being recalled by England after the World Cup. He saw that there was no way back for him with England and that must have had an effect on his decision to go to the United States."
