5 best players to move to MLS since David Beckham
MLS has been treated as a retirement destination for a long time now. The top players of European clubs from the English, Spanish, Italian and other leagues play in Europe during their peak form but after a decline in form they all opt to go MLS rather than retiring at the European clubs. Thus, MLS provide them a platform to play for few more years.
But the first player who set this trend of moving to MLS from Europe was none other than the Manchester United and Real Madrid legend David Beckham. Beckham was one of best midfielders of his time but after playing for the European giants he decided to go to MLS side LA Galaxy. Since then it has become a trend.
But who are the top players who followed Beckham's footsteps to America? Let's check out the following list of 5 of them.
#5 Bastian Schweinsteiger
Bastian after having a decorated career and impressive trophy cabinet with a number of Bundesliga titles, UEFA Champions League, League Cups for Bayern Munich he moved to Premier League giant Manchester United under his former coach Louis Van Gaal.
Basti's first season wasn't much of a success when he just won an FA Cup. At the start of his second season, Jose Mourinho took over from Van Gaal and turned out to be not much of a fan of the German midfielder. So, after suffering utter ignorance from Jose in his second season at United he had to look for a new club.
Finally, Basti decided to move to MLS side Chicago Fire and is currently a first team player at the MLS club.
