David Beckham is reportedly unhappy in Los Angeles and is said to have told wife Victoria Beckham that he would like to return to the UK.

The family moved to Beverly Hills in July after David signed a five year deal with the LA Galaxy soccer team but after an injury-plagued first season, David is said to be questionning the move.

A source close to the football star added that David is also unhappy with the social scene: “David basically has very few friends in LA.”

“The Beckhams haven’t seen much of the Cruises since Katie Holmes and Posh fell out, apparently after Katie saw Victoria and Eva Longoria taking the mickey out of Tom’s dancing at the Beckhams’ welcoming bash.”

“Tom and David get on, but Tom has been in Germany filming.”

And David’s father’s heart attack last month also drove home the importance of being close to his family: “There have been teary conversations with Victoria. David wants to reconnect with his family. He’s very down at the moment.”
