David Beckham 'open to talks' to buy Man Utd after the Glazers put club up for sale

David Beckham is reportedly open to holding talks with potential buyers of Manchester United after The Glazers announced they are ready to sell the football club.

Beckham is unable to afford the Old Trafford club by himself but could form part of an investment consortium as prospective buyers may be keen to enlist the Red Devils legend to boost their chances of winning the race to purchase United.

The Glazers, who bought Man United for £790million back in 2005, put the Old Trafford club on the market on Tuesday. Mirror Football understands the family is looking for as much as £8billion to sell - a fee that eclipses the £2.5bn Todd Boehly paid for Chelsea.
