David Beckham has been approached to back a takeover bid for Manchester United, according to reports.<\/p>\n
Rumours are swirling about a consortium from the United Arab Emirates preparing to make an offer to buy the Glazers’ majority shareholding in the club.<\/p>\n
And, according to the Star and Mirror, the consortium would like former United winger Beckham to be an ambassador for the bid.<\/p>\n
The 50-year-old, who already has ownership interests in Inter Miami and Salford, could reportedly also be given an opportunity to invest in United.<\/p>\n
Beckham has been critical of the Glazers’ tenure, calling on the Americans to sell in 2023 and revealing he would be open to future involvement with the club.<\/p>\n
Jim Ratcliffe’s Ineos Group took control over football operations after buying a stake of 27.7% in February 2024, which has since increased to nearly 29%.<\/p>\n
In March, United announced the intention to build a new 100,000-seat stadium next to Old Trafford, but results on the pitch remain underwhelming.<\/p>\n
