By the turn of the millennium, David was a household name. Not only as a treble winner with United, but also as a world renowned Free-kick specialist and an England regular.
It was only a matter of time before he was granted the England captaincy, a major achievement and personal milestone for the player.
Through hard work and determination David realised his dream to be a professional footballer. It’s a journey that has taken him around the world to Play on the greatest footballing stages for some of the biggest clubs.
“I have the chance to take football in America, soccer as they call it, to another level. I’m excited about this opportunity and will be ready for the challenge.”
It was a huge move for David, leaving European football for a new start on the other side of the globe. Four years in a foreign country at Real Madrid had prepared him for life away from home, and let’s face it, the chance to promote the sport he loves in a country where ‘soccer’ was not the number one sport, was too good an opportunity to pass up.
“We hope this will have a huge impact on our fans, who will see a quality player in the prime of his career. We want him to helpus to be the top team in MLS and maybe, one day, become the top team in the world.”
