David Beckham has shared a playful request he frequently receives from Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, and Sergio Busquets at Inter Miami.
As co-owner of the Herons, the Manchester United legend played a key role in attracting former Barcelona stars to Major League Soccer. With their arrival, Beckham hopes to see them bring MLS Cup success to South Florida.
While he remains actively involved with the club, his role does not extend to stepping onto the pitch—despite regular pleas from Messi, Suarez, and Busquets to join them in training. The former England captain, renowned for his passing and free-kick ability, continues to resist their playful attempts to get him back in action.
Beckham has told Men’s Health: “Do you know what, they’re always on at me, Leo, Luis, Jordi [Alba], Sergio. They will turn around and say, ‘Come on, come on, join in!’” Said requests continue to be knocked back, with head coach Javier Mascherano being left to work without any unnecessary distractions.
