David Beckham insists his plans to create an MLS franchise in Miami are "on course".

Beckham is also working to spread the game's global appeal and is pressing ahead with plans to create a Major League Soccer franchise in Miami.

A site for the franchise's stadium has been approved by Major League Soccer after Beckham's team of investors acquired land in Miami's Overtown neighbourhood last week.

The former Manchester United midfielder says they are "on course" to enter the league in 2018 and is confident "a couple of big players" can be lured to the club.

"Someone sent me a message yesterday asking if it had all fallen through. No," Beckham added.

"We're not telling everyone what's happening constantly but it's all coming good."
