Man United fan Beck wowed Beckham and idolises Ronaldo, now returns to Soccer Aid

The American ran the show in the middle of the park at the London Stadium, but appearing at Old Trafford is about to fulfil a childhood dream.

The 22-year-old is now a famous TikTok star but things could have been very different.

Up against only recently retired Mark Noble in midfield last year, the American ran the show from start to finish and was even praised by David Beckham.

The former Manchester United and Real Madrid man said that Beck was 'impressive' as he scored his penalty in normal time and in the shootout.

Who did Noah Beck play football for?

Beck played for quite a few teams during his amateur career, including Region IV, Real Salt Lake Academy and Portland Pilots.

However, he abandoned all of that to focus on social media in 2020, and the move has worked out brilliantly for him, to be fair.

Since switching to social media, Beck has earned himself a massive following of 33.9 million on TikTok plus 9 million on Instagram.

He was passed over by Crawley Town scouts following a charity game last year but given that he has now earned over £3million from his new life in social media, perhaps he would be better sticking to his newfound fame rather than risking it all and returning to football.

What has been said?

Beck has always idolised Cristiano Ronaldo, and he embodied the Portuguese legend with two penalties at Soccer Aid.

And he also revealed that he is actually a fan of the Red Devils.

He said: "I started supporting Man United at a young age, and I have stuck with them through the bad and good years.

"They have been my team ever since Ronaldo first joined them from Sporting Lisbon.

"When he went there, I became a huge fan, and when he left, I was like 'do I go with him or the team?'

"So I stuck with them (Manchester United). I became a bit of a Real Madrid fan, but Man U has been my team.

"Ronaldo is my all-time idol. I love him. David Beckham also.

"The things that they do on and off the pitch are just amazing. They are good pros and that's like who I try to model myself on."
