David Beckham did not watch United for three years
Speaking at St. Johns Wood United Synagogue in north London the former Manchester United star stated, ‘I always felt I would start my career at Manchester United and end my career at Manchester United,’
‘I had no intention of leaving at any point and I didn’t want to play for any other club.’ For the next three years [after leaving], I couldn’t even watch United on television. Being at United, and supporting them, for as long as I had, it was obviously upsetting.’
After leaving Real Madrid, Beckham would play for LA Galaxy, AC Milan, and Paris Saint-Germain with success at all stops. Today, Beckham continues to manage his empire and is a part owner of Inter Miami in MLS, where he was able to help sign Lionel Messi.
