Guy Patrick and Simon English of The Sun (subscription required) report that some of the club's most loved sons may be about to become the face of a new bid for the ownership of the English football giant.
Per The Telegraph:
David Beckham and fellow members of Manchester United's 'Class of 92' are exploring the possibility of being part of a consortium which is bidding to buy the club, according to a report last night.
The Sun claimed that Beckham, Paul Scholes, Phil and Gary Neville, Ryan Giggs and Nicky Butt have held talks about fronting a takeover which would be backed by money from the Middle East.
he news would excite United fans across the globe, with thoughts of David Beckham and company being involved in the running of the team in years to come.
However, the Mail Online claims United have quickly rubbished reports of a takeover:
Club sources insist the club is not up for sale, with the Glazers determined to stay in charge and oversee a rebuilding job to challenge once again at the top of the table.
United have suffered hugely in the last few months after the retirement of iconic manager Sir Alex Ferguson, with the question of ownership always at the forefront of supporters' minds.
Beckham is currently developing his own ambitions of team ownership, creating a new MLS team in Miami
