Romeo Beckham ignores dad David Beckham's glittering football career, wearing Man U shirt with Wayne Rooney's number instead

David Beckham must be guilty of putting on an All Saints record when he could have picked a Spice Girls one.

And now the father-of-four has got a taste of his own medicine with son Romeo opting to wear a football shirt hailing one his rivals on the pitch.

The eight-year-old proudly wore the Manchester United top with Wayne Rooney's surname and number 10 etched on the back.

Despite his controversial wardrobe choice, Romeo spent most of the day in his wetsuit catching the waves in the Malibu surf.

Along with dad and brothers Brooklyn, 12, and Cruz, 6, the boys played on their surfboards, toying with the paparazzi as they struck various poses.

The Beckham clan were joined by a host of famous faces, including Gordon Ramsay and his family and later Chelsea Manager Carlo Ancelotti.

David kept his tattoos under wraps as he hid behind maroon board shorts and a long-sleeved white T-shirt.

It's a surprise he wasn't parading around in his smalls, after launching a new fashion line with H&M.

The LA Galaxy star shared the news with his 13 million Facebook followers last Thursday.

He wrote: 'Hi guys, today I'm pleased to announce a new long-term partnership with H&M to sell my new underwear range.

'It won't be available until February next year but I'll keep you updated with details and pictures nearer the time....'

The family are currently in America while Victoria recovers from the birth of daughter Harper Seven.

They are renting the luxurious $150,000-a-month mansion from director Steven Spielberg for the summer.
