David Beckham focused on building "successful" business

Retired footballer David Beckham has insisted that he has plenty of desire to build a "successful" business following the end of his playing days.

The 38-year-old, who decided to hang up his boots following a five-month stint at Paris Saint-Germain last season, has embarked on a number of commercial avenues throughout his career.

The former England captain, who is widely known for 'brand Beckham', has been the face of a number of products, including an H&M underwear range.

"I've retired as a footballer, but I've not retired as a person," the Daily Star quotes Beckham as saying.

"It's another phase of my life, and there's so many opportunities. I want to build a successful business."

Reports have claimed that Beckham is also keen to create an MLS franchise.
