It was the first owner of Inter Miami, Jorge Mas, who made Lionel Messi the youngest player of the club of the American professional league "MLS".

His statement, no further than yesterday, was joined by that of the co-owner of the American club, David Beckham, who probably had a key role in persuading the Argentine to reject the Saudi millions and Barcelona and move to the USA.

"One day after Messi had signed with Inter Miami, I still didn't know what exactly had happened. I woke up and saw almost 1 million messages on my phone… I thought to myself what the hell happened. Then everything became clear", Beckham stated in his interview given to "Daily Mail".

However, Beckham has not appeared surprised by the fact that Messi turned down countless millions from Saudi Arabia to end up in the American championship.

"To be honest, I am not very surprised by the fact that Mesi chose the USA and Inter Miami. From the first day that I became the owner of this club, I stated that I would like and try to bring the best players to Inter Miami. I have always tried to fulfill this promise that I made to our fans", declared the former midfielder of the English national team.

JUNAJTIDI - In his interview, given to the English daily, Beckham also spoke about his former team, Manchester Junajtidi. He has revealed an interesting fact, as he has admitted that he has not seen a "red devils" match for at least 3 years.

"When I started my career at Manchester United, I always thought that I would end it at this club, I would not play for any other team. In reality it didn't happen like that. In 2003, I left for Real Madrid and in the first three years after I left United, I didn't see any of their matches. It was a special feeling for me to see Junajtid and not have the opportunity to play for them," Beckham said.
