David Beckham has spoken out about his former Man-United teammate, Roy Keane, and has nothing but nice things to say about him. The footballer took to social media today to make a statement on his stance about the Brexit referendum.
The athlete has used a passionate football analogy to describe the importance of Britain remaining in the EU, and even mentions our very own Roy Keane!
On Instagram, David posted a throwback pic of himself playing with Manchester United and in the extensive caption, expressed his political views and the love he has for his teammates.
“I played my best years at my boyhood club, Manchester United. I grew up with a core group of young British players that included Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Nicky Butt and the Neville Brothers.
“Now that team might have gone on to win trophies but we were a better and more successful team because of a Danish goalkeeper, Peter Schmeichel, the leadership of an Irishman Roy Keane and the skill of a Frenchman in Eric Cantona,” he wrote.
The 41-year-old then went on to say that he was welcomed with open arms by every European country he’s lived in, and enjoys living in a connected world. For that reason he is voting for Britain to remain within the European Union.
“I was also privileged to play and live in Madrid, Milan and Paris with teammates from all around Europe and the world. Those great European cities and their passionate fans welcomed me and my family and gave us the opportunity to enjoy their unique and inspiring cultures and people.
“We live in a vibrant and connected world where together as a people we are strong. For our children and their children we should be facing the problems of the world together and not alone.
“For these reasons I am voting to remain,” he concluded.
The Brexit referendum will take place in the UK this Thursday.
