DAVID BECKHAM has lashed out at European Super League plans and blasted: “Football is in danger.”
Former Manchester United star Becks took to Instagram to demand the game we love is protected.
Manchester City and Tottenham are joined by Liverpool, Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal in agreeing to join the franchise-style, closed-shop Super League.
Furious fans took to stadiums across the country on Monday to voice their anger at the clubs’ owners with more protests planned.
The renegade clubs have been slammed by everyone from Prince William and PM Boris Johnson to Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher.
And now Inter Miami owner Becks has added his voice to the ever growing list of defenders of our national sport.

The 45-year-old wrote on his Instagram: “I’m someone who loves football.
“It has been my life for as long as I can remember. I loved it from when I was a young child as a fan, and I’m still a fan now.
“As a player and now as an owner I know that our sport is nothing without the fans. We need football to be for everyone. We need football to be fair and we need competitions based on merit.
“Unless we protect these values the game we love is in danger…”

Beckham’s former team-mate Gary Neville has been widely praised for the way he has repeatedly attacked the plans.
He labelled Man Utd owner Joel Glazer a ‘scaveneger’.
And the ex-right-back also called for Sunday’s Carabao Cup final between Tottenham and Man City to be cancelled because both teams ‘don’t care’.
Neville also clashed with Jurgen Klopp after the Liverpool boss responded to the pundit’s criticism of the Anfield club.
And Reds legend Jamie Carragher believes owner John Henry will be driven out if Klopp resigns over European Super League plans.
