DAVID BECKHAM could be set for a sensational international comeback. That is the verdict of Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger, who reckons England coach Steve McClaren has a rescue mission in mind for Becks.
Wenger said: “I don’t want to add to the pressure on McClaren, who already has a whole country on his back.
“But I have no doubt he is thinking again about Beckham who, technically, remains a very great player.”
England are in desperate trouble in their Euro 2008 qualifying campaign since McClaren decided to axe midfielder Becks.
And Frenchman Wenger sees an immediate comparison with what happened in his own country when Raymond Domenech was first appointed manager.
Domenech started the last World Cup qualifiers without Zinedine Zidane, Lilian Thuram and Claude Makelele after a Euro failure.
Wenger added: “Like McClaren, Domenech tried to open up a new era before seeing that his team lacked experience.
“Then France recalled Zidane, Makelele and Thuram — and improved.”
