The 39-year-old former England captain retired in May 2013 after a 20-year playing career that ended with a short spell at Paris St Germain.

Appearing on a BBC One documentary, Beckham said: “There’s never been a player-owner but maybe?”

David Beckham: Into the Unknown will be shown on Monday, 9 June at 20:30 BST.

The show follows the former Manchester United and Real Madrid midfielder as he travels 800 miles into the Amazon rainforest.

Beckham admitted he had “a tough time” after retiring but has gone through “a stage of enjoying the rest” and is tempted to come out of retirement.

He said: “Now I go to watch a basketball game and, when you are watching athletes play at the top of their game, for me it gives me that itch again and I want to be back in the game then and I start thinking to myself ‘Could I play again? Could I go back? Could I come out of retirement and start playing again?'”

Beckham was joined by three friends on the 12-day trip which saw the quartet travel by motorbike, canoe and plane to the remote Yanomami tribe and spend the night in their isolated village.
