Eric Cantona has been approached by a consortium of investors based in the United Arab Emirates to act as an ambassador for a potential bid to buy Manchester United. Wayne Rooney and David Beckham are also on the group’s radar for similar roles.
The consortium is still being put together as it seeks the finance to firm up its interest in buying the club before it can approach the six Glazer siblings, who collectively are United’s majority owners. The UAE‑based group is intent on having prominent former United players as ambassadors as part of this process.
