David Beckham's return to Major League Soccer with Los Angeles Galaxy has been delayed but contract negotiations remain ongoing, according to The Guardian.

The former England captain's contract expired on December 31, but, after a potential deal with Ligue 1 side Paris Saint-Germain fell through, his representatives remain confident he will re-sign in California, the report states.

Beckham visited England at the weekend and witnessed the returns of two of English football's brightest former stars, as ex-team-mate Paul Scholes made his comeback for Manchester United in their 3-2 FA Cup victory against rivals Manchester City.

The next day the midfielder was at the Emirates Stadium to see a Thierry Henry-inspired Arsenal beat Leeds United in the same competition.

Beckham will not be tempted into a short-term deal with United, the report claims, although Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp has said the 36-year-old would be welcome to train with the Spurs squad, as he did during the MLS off-season last year.
