David Beckham has ruled out the possibility of him moving to Australia after the press claimed a move may be on the cards this week.

Beckham was as surprised as the rest of us when he heard about the gossip from down under and was quick to dismiss it to keep his loyalty in America.

The MLS season is now over and quite often the star players chose to move on loan to a European club in order to keep match fit over the winter, with the likes of Robbie Keane, Landon Donovan, Thierry Henry and even Beckham himself doing so in recent years.

But a move to Australia is simply nonsense according to the former England captain.

"No. Definitely not true," Beckham told American reporters.

"Bruce (Galaxy coach Bruce Arena) told me that this morning - the first I'd heard about it. Like I said that's the first I'd heard of that, this morning."
