Are we on our way to one of the exciting stories?
After the Glazer family's announcement that it is open to accepting offers for the purchase of Manchester United, today (Thursday) it was reported in the London "Times" newspaper that David Beckham, one of the club's symbols, is interested in heading an investor group that will take over the ownership of the Red Devils.
The fortune of the United legend, owners of the Inter Miami team from the American League (MLS), according to reports, is about 500 million dollars, an amount that is not enough for a former footballer to buy himself, so he needs to team up with additional investors, which will reduce his influence.
At the same time, the Glazer family have already set a price tag on the club in the amount of 7 billion pounds (7.8 billion euros), but if serious candidates arrive they will be willing to be flexible, which brings Beckham - who is loved by the fans, into the picture.

After the Glazer family announced that they are open to accepting offers for the purchase of Manchester United, the names of many potential candidates - some realistic and some much less so - came up in the last two days.
Among the names that came up was the name of the richest man in Britain, Jim Ratcliffe, as well as delusional speculations that Amazon or Facebook are interested in taking ownership of the English luxury club. However, the new name that came up to buy the club is the most intriguing of all - David Beckham.
According to a report in The Times, the legendary former player of the Red Devils and current owner of Inter Miami is open to buying the club where he grew up since he was a child.
Of course, despite his large fortune of 500 million dollars, Beckham is still not able to purchase United alone and is of course open to the purchase together with a group of potential buyers - in which he will be a less significant part.
