Former MLS commissioner and present Arsenal chief executive Ivan Gazidis doesn't believe David Beckham is key to the future of football in the United States.
Gazidis, who has first hand experience of the game across the Atlantic, has given his views on the 'Becks' saga and he feels that it will not be the end of the world if the England international doesn't return to the Los Angeles Galaxy.
"All I will say is that players have a contract to respect and David has always done this," Gazidis told the New York Times.
"In any case what happens happens. I don't think Beckham will be the determining factor in terms of the future of the MLS.
"The league has its own strength and respect from the world of football."
Milan are trying hard to ensure their man stays on at San Siro, however, the offer they have made to the Galaxy has been deemed less than perfect.
The latest reports suggest the Rossoneri have delayed plans to fly out to America once again. Beckham, however, has always maintained the stance that he wants to stay in Italy.
