Los Angeles Galaxy midfielder David Beckham has been referred to as a "man crush" by a member of British boyband The Wanted.

Tom Parker, who is one fifth of the singing group, believes that Beckham, who is due to leave Galaxy following the MLS Cup Final, has created an appealing image.

"My man crush is David Beckham," Parker told the Daily Star. "He's got good calves and a good ass."

Meanwhile, the 37-year-old has been made into a cartoon by Adidas for a re-make of Charles Dickens's 'A Christmas Carol'.
