David Beckham is regarded as one of the best when it comes to freekick and other set piece situations.

He has found incredible success with goals against the likes of Greece and Wimbledon being regarded as amongst the best. Manchester United winger Ashley Young was signed from Aston Villa by former manager Sir Alex Ferguson as he had qualities similar to that of Beckham. After a few years in the wilderness, Young has found himself in a rich vein of form of late. He has been able to find the back of the net on a number of occasions last season.

Yet, the England international claims that he has not been able to replicate the famous goal scored by Beckham against Wimbledon. Beckham managed to find the back of the net against the Premier League minnows from the halfway line in the 1996-97 season. Many other players have gone from this position since then, but Beckham’s effort remains the most popular yet. The likes of Charlie Adam and Wayne Rooney have scored similar goals, but it is an art that Youngis yet to master. Beckham will be looking to recreate this goal when he returns to Old Trafford for a charity match. The former Real Madrid, AC Milan, and PSG star is now retired and is on the way towards owning a franchise in the MLS.

“The one moment that stands out when you talk about Becks is that goal at Selhurst Park from inside his own half. He’s quickly looked up and seen the goalkeeper off his line and had a go. I’ve tried it a few times in training but it’s not come off! That goal was absolutely brilliant,” said Young, who is yet to open his account for this season. He has made only three Premier League starts so far.
