The 32-year-old starred on his recent return to Steve McClaren's squad but with the Real Madrid midfielder soon to swap the Bernabeu for a move to the United States, it has been suggested Beckham's return to the international fold could prove short-lived.

Asked whether he can keep his place in the England squad from across the Atlantic, the 32-year-old said: "Without a doubt. The manager has already made me aware of that."

He added: "My fitness will be the same as it is now, if not better. I don't think that's going to be a worry. Some people think I am going into semi-retirement, I don't see it as that. And there's some people who think I can play for another two or three years at the top -- and I'm one of those people."

And the former Manchester United insists he will have a part to play under McClaren for as long as his form and fitness remains as it is now.

He said: "As long as my fitness is right, as long as I'm playing like I have been playing over the last six months -- which is the reason why he's said he brought me back into the team -- then there won't be a problem."
