David Beckham who has played for both Manchester United and Real Madrid as a midfielder, in 2007 became the first big European name to join the MLS, where he won 2011 and 2012 championships back-to-back in his six years with 98 appearances at the Galaxy.

The 43-year old’s MLS stint has helped give the American league credibility and paved way for other top European players to make the leap in subsequent years.

David Beckham is currently the owner of expansion side Inter Miami CF, reportedly ready to join the MLS by the year 2020.
