Phil Neville promotes son Harvey to Inter Miami first team after impressing alongside Romeo Beckham

INTER MIAMI boss Phil Neville has given his son Harvey a first-team contract.

The MLS club is co-owned by Neville's former Manchester United team-mate David Beckham, whose son Romeo is also on the club's books.

And it seems like Beckham is trying to build a 'Class of 22' on US soil, but Harvey and Romeo have a long way to go to match Old Trafford's legendary 'Class of 92' youngsters.

Beckham, Gary and Phil Neville, Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes all broke into the first-team at roughly the same time as United
dominated that era of the Premier League.

An Inter Miami statement said defender Harvey has signed a deal until the end of the 2024 MLS season, with the option of another one or two years.

And once Harvey gets his US green card, he will not take up an international roster slot, allowing the club to sign more overseas players.

Harvey has largely played in MLS Next Pro, the MLS version of Premier League 2, where he started 15 matches.

Midfielder Romeo, 19, has two goals in 19 MLS Next Pro appearances, even bagging a free-kick straight out of his superstar dad's playbook.

Harvey has been capped at youth level for the Republic of Ireland despite being born in Manchester.

Inter Miami are currently sixth in the MLS Eastern Conference.
