There were some reports that Beckham could potentially return to Man United in an ambassadorial role if Sheikh Jassim’s takeover is successful.
Manchester United’s takeover story is trending on social media. Former United midfielder David Beckham has denied his involvement in Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani’s bid.
Sheikh Jassim and INEOS chief Sir Jim Ratcliffe are battling hard to take ownership of Man United. The Glazer family announced last year that they were open to a sale. Sheikh Jassim has been viewed as the favourite to take charge at Old Trafford. However, his various bids have been refused by Glazers.
Sheikh Jassim will not increase his most recent £5bn offer but Glazers are keen to reach £6bn. There were some reports that Beckham could potentially return to Man United in an ambassadorial role if Sheikh Jassim’s takeover is successful.
Earlier during the Qatar Grand Prix, the Inter Miami co-owner told Sky Sports News: “We’ll see” when asked if Sheikh Jassim was the right man to take charge.
Now, the 48-year-old spoke on it during an interview with CNBC, “At the moment there has been no discussion. I have had a long-standing relationship with Qatar, because of my involvement with PSG. Obviously there will be some connection and people put two and two together.”
“There will be a takeover, it is the right time. We all have our opinions on who should take over, but in my opinion it is about who cares about the club the most and will take the club back to where it should be.
“Everybody knows I am a Manchester United fan and I have been very vocal about the situation that is happening. I grew up there from a young age with a lot of stability with the same manager and the same owners.
He also added, “Manchester United will always be one of the biggest clubs in the world. We need to get back to that for the fans, the players, the manager because at the moment, there is no stability. We need to get the talk back on the field, not off it.
“I want to see an ownership group who will take the club back to what it should be. I am not saying the past owners have done a bad job but it is the right time for someone else to take over.”
