It’s not known the former captain watched the team defeat Chelsea in the US, but if he did, he certainly didn’t stay around to celebrate.

The star enjoyed a much less prestigious win with his new team LA Galaxy against FC Dallas over the weekend.

While his wife Victoria has declared that that she "loves" the family’s new life in the US, she recently hinted David has struggled to adjust.
