Beckham Asked to Back Man United Takeover Bid
The UAE consortium seeks Beckham's support amid fan protests against the Glazers with Beckham open to involvement and potential investment in the club.
- Earlier this month, David Beckham was approached to back a takeover bid for Manchester United, with a UAE consortium seeking him to serve as an ambassador for the bid.
- The UAE consortium is preparing an offer to buy the Glazers' majority shareholding, with David Beckham having called on the Americans to sell in 2023 and open to future involvement.
- Beckham already holds stakes in Inter Miami and Salford and could be given an opportunity to invest in United, while Sir Jim Ratcliffe's Ineos Group controls football operations with nearly 29 per cent stake.
- United have been approached for comment as speculation continued after social-media posts by Turki Al-Sheikh, while fan protests against the Glazers persist, pressuring change at the club.
- Ongoing takeover talk positions new suitors amid wider club issues, with recent rumours suggesting Sir Jim Ratcliffe may be forced to sell his nearly 29% stake if the Glazers decide to sell, as the planned 100,000-seat stadium highlights long-term stakes.
