Not everyone expected Lionel Messi to switch his next destination to Inter Miami. Fans wanted him to re-sign with his boyhood club Barcelona, but the talks broke down. Right on time, David Beckham pounced like a cat to convince him to join the MLS side. Beckham arrived similarly from Real Madrid to the LA Galaxy to excite the fans.
But this move is sensational beyond belief. The player is fresh off his 2022 World Cup victory and looks to start a new chapter in his life. At this moment, it looks like Messi’s perfect destination is a move to Miami. Beckham explained how his former manager advised him to find the right player.
Player recruitments are critical for a team to be successful. When Messi left for PSG, everyone believed them to dominate the world of soccer. But the fans booed him after getting knocked out of the UEFA Champions League. So, Beckham took the advice of Sir Alex Ferguson, Manchester United’s legendary manager, to finalize the signing of the legendary Messi.

David Beckham recalls Sir Alex Ferguson’s advice to sign the right player
For every player, it is imperative to have the appropriate type of player. Bringing Messi to the club is pointless if things don’t go smoothly. Therefore, Beckham recalled Ferguson’s approach.
According to Manchester Evening News, he stated, “One of the things I learned from Alex Ferguson… he turned around to me and said whoever you bring in, they have to be the right fit for the club.” Earlier, Manchester United had a midfielder called Juan Sebastian Veron. Dubbed to be the hottest prospect of soccer, he failed miserably at the club.
Beckham continued, “It’s not about the biggest name or personality, it’s about who fits in best with the players. That’s what we’ll do. But, like I said, as an owner, if you want to bring these players in then we have a great opportunity.” The second part of the line reinstates the importance of having legendary players in the league.
The MLS is on its way to becoming one of the best in the world following the recent transfer. Thus, what can he bring into the league?
