Lionel Messi to Inter Miami is an open secret with the World Cup winner's move to Major League Soccer imminent. And David Beckham has spoken publicly for the first time about bringing the Argentina legend to the States.

While the former Manchester United man stopped short of confirming the move, he spoke about Messi's summer arrival as being the kind of transfer he wanted to deliver when kickstarting the franchise. “A couple of weeks ago, I woke up to about a million messages on my phone,” said Beckham, speaking at a Q&A in London and quoted by The Athletic. “I was thinking, ‘What’s gone off?

I don’t usually get this many messages’. All of a sudden, I hear Leo has come out and announced he’s coming to Miami. Obviously, it wasn’t a surprise to me. “I have always said from the word go that if I had the opportunity to bring the best players in the game to Miami, at whatever time of their careers, I would do that.

I have always made that commitment to our fans. Want to join our MUFC Pro club for a totally ad-free version of the MEN’s Man United app packed with premium features?
