David Beckham says that he is "sad" to leave Los Angeles Galaxy following their victory over Houston Dynamo in the MLS Cup final on Saturday.

David Beckham has admitted that he is "sad" to leave Los Angeles Galaxy.

The midfielder ended his five-and-half-year tenure at the American club on Saturday when he helped them win the MLS Cup with a 3-1 victory over Houston Dynamo in the final.

"I am sad that this is the end," BBC Sport quotes the 37-year-old as saying. "This is a very special place for me and it will continue to be.

"I am happy to have been part of this club for six years and I am grateful to have been successful for the last four years.

"I may not play here anymore but I remain just as committed to growing this club, this league and this sport."

Beckham won the MLS Cup last year with Galaxy too.
