Beckham is chasing the American dream again as a co-owner at Inter Miami, with eight-time Ballon d’Or winner Messi joining him in Florida. 

There is plenty of U.S. interest elsewhere – with famous faces buying into the British game – while shows 

such as Ted Lasso and Welcome to Wrexham have opened up a window the world.

Beckham is delighted to have played a part in that boom, telling Variety of how the game continues to grow Stateside: “I do think they play into it. 

That’s why I moved to America in 2007 with my family to join the MLS and to join the Galaxy — because I knew that there was potential. 

It was always going to be a challenge, and I’m glad that I played a small role in making the league as big as it is now, but it takes moments like what we’ve just done [with Messi]. 

It takes things like Ted Lasso, and it takes people like Ryan and Rob to give it that bit of air. 

I’ve always said it: America wants to be the best at everything. I love that and that’s why I wanted to live in America, because I love that culture, that positivity.”

Messi is expected to entice more household names to America – having been reunited with Sergio Busquets, Luis Suarez and Jordi Alba – with Mexico international Hirving ‘Chucky’ Lozano and experienced German star Marco Reus seeing imminent moves lined up.
