David Beckham is reportedly willing to consider backing a prospective Manchester United owner who is bidding to take over the club.
The global icon’s stature, wealth and long association with the club would be attractive to potential bidders who wish to launch an offer for the Reds. On Tuesday, The Glazers confirmed that they are exploring the possible sale of United after a 17-year reign.
Their off-field running of the club coupled with on-field woes in recent years have led to increased calls from supporters for the family to sell up, with anti-owner protests increasing in frequency. Any person looking to take control of United would likely be well served by Beckham’s backing.
