It had been rumoured that Becks would make his debut against the Blues on July 21, but instead he'll run out four days earlier against the Mexicans as the Galaxy look to tap into the huge Hispanic football following Stateside.

The Major League Soccer side are looking to start making a return on their investment as quickly as possible and boss Alexi Lalas revealed:

"We've targeted the Tigres game for the first time David will play for the Galaxy. If you look at our calendar during that period it is full of games, but not necessarily MLS games."

"There is the first time David will represent the Galaxy and the first time he will represent us in the MLS. It takes time for players to settle in. You can't just rush them on to the field, for a player to become part of the team he has to be put into a position that will make him and the team successful, and not just throw him to the wolves."
