BREAKING NEWS as David Beckham reveals his plan’s after he has agreed to finally buy Manchester United and sell every single player at the club.
Manchester United, one of the most iconic clubs in the Premier League, is facing the prospect of a change in ownership after the Glazer family put the club up for sale in November 2022. This has led to speculation about former United legend David Beckham potentially returning, albeit in a leadership role.
Beckham has been in talks with Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani, a former Qatari Prime Minister with an estimated net worth of $1 billion, who is poised to submit a formal bid for Manchester United. Reports have suggested that Sheikh Jassim has approached Beckham, encouraging him to support the bid publicly. In return, Beckham has reportedly been offered the position of International Ambassador if the takeover is successful. This would see Beckham play a significant part in enhancing Manchester United’s global brand and influence.
Beckham’s connection to Qatar is well-established, especially after he signed a lucrative 10-year deal worth $175 million with the Qatari government in 2022. He also served as a FIFA ambassador for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, a tournament that sparked controversy due to concerns over human rights and labor practices related to stadium construction.
While Beckham remains synonymous with football, his entrepreneurial pursuits have also flourished. Beyond the pitch, the former England captain, whose wealth is estimated at $514 million, co-founded Inter Miami CF in 2020 and played an integral role in bringing Lionel Messi to Major League Soccer. Beckham’s business interests also include Guild Esports, a British esports organization, Haig Club, a Scotch whisky brand, and House 99, a skincare line created in partnership with L’Oréal.
As the future ownership of Manchester United remains unresolved, Beckham’s potential return adds further intrigue. Should he take on an ambassadorial or executive role, it would surely bring a familiar presence to Old Trafford. However, fans are still awaiting the next step in the ongoing saga of the club’s ownership.
It is worth noting that recent updates suggest that Sheikh Jassim withdrew from the race for United in late 2023 after failing to reach an agreement with the Glazers. Instead, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, through his company INEOS, secured a 25% stake in the club and assumed control of football operations. Beckham has not been linked to any role within the new INEOS leadership structure.
