(Reuters) - Major League Soccer would provide a good platform for young English players who have struggled to break into the first team, former England captain Steven Gerrard has said.

The 36-year-old joined the LA Galaxy last July after a 17-year career with Liverpool, and has been one of the big-name players to join the MLS in recent years along with the likes of Frank Lampard, Andrea Pirlo, David Villa and Kaka.
