David Beckham has responded to James Ward-Prowse after the Southampton star admitted it is his dream to one day meet the Manchester United legend.
Both are renowned for their free-kick prowess, while the Saints captain netted a sublime effort against Brighton on Saturday to make it 14 in total in the Premier League. Beckham still holds the record for the most direct free-kick goals in the competition at 18.
And Ward-Prowse has insisted that he is determined to break the England icon's record while at the age of 27, he has plenty of time to do so - especially considering the absolute quality he has. He also admitted that he dreams of meeting Beckham, who he called his hero growing up.
