Former Manchester United midfielder and current Inter Miami co-owner and president David Beckham admits Lionel Messi is the player that he enjoys watching perform the most as links with a move to Major League Soccer for the World Cup-winning captain persist.
Messi, 35, has just six months remaining on his current contract at French club Paris Saint-Germain and reports in Spain last month claimed that, despite previous reporting stating that the expectation was that an extension would be agreed to stay in the country's capital, doubts remain and the player continues to consider his options.
One such option, which has been much speculated about, is a potential move to MLS to sign for Beckham's franchise Miami, who are coached by Phil Neville. The Athletic reported last autumn that the Florida-based club were "increasingly confident" of signing the former Barcelona star.
