David Beckham has weighed in on Brexit ahead of Britain’s crucial referendum — and the former England international has come down on the side of the Remain campaign about whether the UK should stay or leave the European Union.
Now a UNICEF ambassador, Beckham posted a statement on his social accounts Tuesday calling for Britain to stay in Europe, citing some of his legendary Manchester United teammates from the continent, as well as his stints playing in Madrid, Milan and Paris as the reasons as to why he had come to that decision.
I’m passionate about my country and whatever the result of Thursday’s referendum, we will always be great. Each side has the right to their opinion and that should always be respected whatever the outcome of the European Referendum,” he wrote.
