David Beckham larks around with daughter Harper at hockey game after being slammed by his mentor

He has just been given an astonishing public dressing down by his former mentor Sir Alex Ferguson. So David Beckham was probably relieved to be able to lark around with his gorgeous two-year-old daughter Harper in Los Angeles.

The former Manchester United star looked uncharacteristically glum as he took in an ice hockey game on the west coast.

Early word of his old boss' comments seemed to have filtered through to the 38-year-old as he watched the LA Kings take on the Calgary Flames on Monday night.

However his mood seemed to perk up as the action heated up on the ice, with former England star smiling while his sons Brooklyn,14 and Romeo, 11, cheered with delight.

The family's good mood was to be broken come the end of the match however. For a last minute goal from the visitors saw the former Stanley Cup winner's crash to an humiliating 3-2 home defeat.

Little Harper didn't seem bothered by the game outcome though as she attempted to distract her dad, as she watched the action from his lap.

Whilst her dad and brothers were dressed down in t-shirts and caps, little Harper followed her stylish mum's lead as she smartened up in a dusky pink cardigan and white shirt.

She even added an accessory in the form of a candy necklace, and had her hair pulled up into an on trend top knot.

Victoria meanwhile was also spotted in the stands, looking chic in a casual black jumper and jeans as she clapped the action.
