David Beckham could well realise a dream that has been years in the making if he can secure the signature of Lionel Messi for his MLS franchise.
In many ways, it had been a week to forget for Inter Miami and all associated with the fledgling club after coach Phil Neville was dismissed from his job following after an alarming run of 10 losses in 15 games this season. A defeat against New York Red Bulls sealed the former Lionesses manager's fate, bringing to an end a mixed two year spell stateside.
For Beckham, the sacking of his friend and former teammate brought to an end a partnership which had been less fruitful than the one they enjoyed together at Manchester United during their playing career. The former Real Madrid superstar is seemingly in no mood to dwell, however, with Lionel Messi potentially set for a switch to South Beach.
