David Beckham has come out in support of remaining in the EU only days before the referendum.

Leytonstone’s most famous son and global sporting star, David Beckham, has thrown his weight behind remaining in the EU.

In an Instagram post to his 24.3 million followers, he shared his pro-EU position with an image of his Manchester United days with French footballer Eric Cantona.

Golden Balls explained his decision with a personal analogy of his footballing career in Manchester, Madrid, Milan and Paris.

While talking about his glory days at Manchester United, Becks admitted they “were a better and more successful team” because of a “Danish keeper” in Peter Schmeichel, the “leadership of an Irishman” in Roy Keane and the skill of a “Frenchman” in Eric Cantona.

He added: “I was also privileged to play and live in Madrid, Milan and Paris with teammates from all around Europe and the world.

“Those great European cities and their passionate fans welcomed me and my family and gave us the opportunity to enjoy their unique and inspiring cultures and people.

“We live in a vibrant and connected world where together as a people we are strong.

“For our children and their children we should be facing the problems of the world together and not alone.

“For these reasons I am voting to Remain.”
