The star completed his look with some eye-catching bright green trainers and donned a black baseball cap backwards on his head. 

It’s not the first time the star has tried his hand at padel after he worked up a sweat back in 2021 as he enjoyed a game in Miami. 

The former Manchester United and England star traded the football for a racket of sorts while trying his hand at paddle tennis on an outdoor court. 

Captioning a short video of himself in action, he wrote: ‘Found a new sport, back is gonna hurt in the morning but who cares.’

It comes after furious fans in Hong Kong booed David and demanded a refund after paying for tickets to watch Lionel Messi, only for the Inter Miami star to stay on the bench.

David, the president and co-owner of the American soccer franchise, greeted the 40,000 strong crowd after the game and thanked them for their ‘incredible welcome’ following Inter Miami’s 4-1 win over a Hong Kong XI.

But the Manchester United and England legend was roundly booed during his speech after fans paid as much as $460 for a glimpse of Messi in action.

There was always a chance he would not feature due to injury but fans snapped up all 40,000 tickets at Hong Kong Stadium within an hour when they went on sale in December.

It was reportedly made clear to fans when they purchased tickets that there would be no refunds issued if Messi didn’t play.
