Steven Gerrard convinced to go to MLS by David Beckham

Steven Gerrard admits that David Beckham gave him advice before he accepted an offer to move to the United States and sign for the Los Angeles Galaxy.

Steven Gerrard has revealed that he sought the advice of David Beckham before joining the Los Angeles Galaxy.

Beckham played for the Galaxy for five seasons in the second half of his career, where he won two MLS cups.

Gerrard said at a press conference: "David is a hero of mine, a fantastic guy, a wonderful footballer, certainly someone I leaned on for advice before I decided to come here."

The ex-Liverpool player announced his decision to move to the MLS in January after he rejected a one-year contract offer from the Reds, as he didn't want to become a squad player.

He will make his debut against San Jose Earthquakes on July 17.
