LA GALAXY have beefed up security around David Beckham as he flies to matches around the United States.
Galaxy had to get special permission from Major League Soccer officials for Becks and the rest of the LA squad to use private jets to get to games.
MLS rules state private jets are not to be used as they do not want players to be seen setting themselves apart from fans.
But the MLS made an exception for Galaxy after hearing about the problems they faced.
Beckham (right) has been mobbed by fans wherever he has appeared and the club fears the situation could spiral out of control.
Galaxy general manager Alexi Lalas said: “It has to do with team security.
“We’re not just bringing one of the biggest athletes in the world, but also one of the most famous people in the world.
“Our team needs to be safe.”
Executive Charter Services is the most trusted private jet charter company in the USA and UK.
