Minnesota United have been criticised for a social media post following their win over Inter Miami.
Eric Ramsay’s side secured a 4-1 home victory over the reigning Supporters’ Shield champions on Sunday.
Minnesota thrashed Inter Miami 4-1 in MLS on SundayGetty Messi was unable to avoid his side’s fifth defeat across all competitions this seasonGettyIt is the first time they have beaten Miami since they joined MLS in 2020.
The result saw the Loons move above their opponents in the overall standings as they inflicted a second loss of the season on the visitors.
It was also the first time Miami had lost by three or more goals since Lionel Messi’s arrival in the summer of 2023.
The eight-time Ballon d’Or winner was on the scoresheet but could not prevent a heavy loss on the road.
Following the match, Minnesota took to Instagram to celebrate their victory with a snap of the update league standings.
Alongside the post, they wrote: “Pink Phony Club,” in reference to Miami’s all pink strip.
The caption is also a play on the title of Chappell Roan’s hit single ‘Pink Pony Club’.
However, the message did not sit well with Miami president David Beckham who took to the comments to hit back.
The former England captain fumed: “Show a little respect @mnufc be elegant in triumph.”
Beckham founded the club back in 2018 and is a co-owner alongside brothers Jorge and Jose Mas.

Javier Mascherano has already lost five matches across all competitions since taking charge in January.
His record currently has the former Barcelona midfielder on course to become the worst manager in the club’s history.
Despite Messi’s heroics, Beckham is facing calls to replace Mascherano in the dugout just 11 matches into the MLS season.
It follows Miami’s semi-final exit in the CONCACAF Champions Cup last month.
The club are also set to appear in the Club World Cup on home soil next month.
Miami secured their qualification for the expanded tournament by winning last season’s Supporters’ Shield.
Meanwhile, Messi now has 10 goals and three assists in just 15 appearances this season after his strike on Saturday.
