According to reports from the Mirror, Star and other British media, a mysterious UAE consortium plans to acquire Manchester United and is contacting Beckham to serve as its acquisition ambassador.
According to reports, the UAE consortium has contacted Manchester United legend Beckham, hoping to let him serve as the image ambassador for this bid. The 50-year-old Beckham has a net worth of 300 million pounds and is also the owner of teams such as Inter Miami and Salford City. It is understood that Beckham's global popularity has made him the preferred candidate for the position, ahead of fellow Manchester United legends Cantona and Rooney.
Beckham has been critical of the Glazer family, which has controlled Manchester United for 20 years. The Glazer family has saddled Manchester United with huge debts and earned 1.2 billion pounds from the club to repay family debts, interest, dividends and family expenses.
According to valuation, Manchester United's current market value is about 2 billion pounds, but it is reported that the Glazer family is willing to sell Manchester United for 5 billion pounds. The Glazer family is still the majority shareholder of Manchester United, but in 2023 they have sold just under 30% of their shares to Sir Ratcliffe's Ineos Group, which paid 1.2 billion pounds.
