Former United midfielder Beckham played alongside Zlatan for a brief period in Paris, and has spoken in the past of his respect for the 34-year-old, and how he would love to sign him up to his MLS franchise team, due to launch in Miami in 2020.
"I've played with or against the very best in the world," Beckham said. "I want to say that I have never met anyone who was so serious during both practice and games. When I came to Paris I knew that he was an incomparable talent as a player, but he'd be so tough and merciless on himself at all times. I had no idea. "He is a born winner. He is a beast with huge self confidence, and I'm one of his biggest admirers."
