Beckham to captain Galaxy

David Beckham is to captain the Los Angeles Galaxy for the first time in three years.
Galaxy coach Bruce Arena decided that former England skipper Beckham will wear the captain's armband on Saturday when the side visit MLS rivals Real Salt Lake.
"Bruce has asked me to wear it, and I'll be proud to wear it," said Beckham, who is in the final season of the contract that brought him to Los Angeles. "It doesn't change the way I play. It's something you're very proud to wear, but you need more than that one leader on the field."
Beckham took over as captain when he joined the team amid great fanfare in 2007. However, he last captained the Galaxy on 26 October 2008. The armband was given to USA midfielder Landon Donovan the following year.
Donovan will miss Saturday's game to be with USA who will face Argentina in a friendly at East Rutherford, New Jersey
