Read what SAF said about David Beckham and his time at Man utd, R.Madrid. he thinks going to LA Galaxy was a wrong call for David.
"Amazing boy. I mean, how he has created himself. He’s an icon for young people. He’s fantastic. I mean, wonderful boy.
How did he create himself?
"Well, he always had a lovely smile, you know, and he always presents himself well, but as a young kid when I got him at 12 years of age his great desire was to play some of the best football. He was a fantastic trainer, practised all the time. At night-time he would come by with the schoolboys and practise with them. And he was in that collection, along with Giggs, Scholes and Neville. And then of course, his life changed, when he married the girl from The Spice Girls [Victoria Beckham]. And his focus changed.
"He got drawn into that celebrity status, you know? And for me, I’m a football man. I’m a football man. It wasn’t my...
"He lost the focus. And when we sold him to Real Madrid, he did well. And the thing I couldn’t believe was that he goes to LA Galaxy. I couldn’t believe that. I couldn’t understand that. I would never do that, you know? I would be making sure he would go to the best, and Real Madrid was the best, I would say, and United. But he reinvented himself. He goes and plays for the English national team for a couple more years. He goes and plays for AC Milan in the European Cup. He’s unbelievable, he really is. And good, well done to him. I mean, you can’t argue with the status he has in life."
Should he have stayed at Manchester United?
"Well, for me, it would have pleased me more to see him be a great, great player, you know? As I said, I’m a football man. But how can I argue with [his] life? He’s an icon for young people and represents himself the proper way. And I say: Well done."
