With the Red Devils up for sale, former English footballer Rio Ferdinand said Inter Miami club co-owner David Beckham would come with a consortium as a takeover bid was discussed.
How was everything?
Ex-player David Beckham was a member of the Class of 92 who left the Old Trafford youth system to win the Premier League and Champions League titles. The star, who left the Red Devils for Real Madrid in 2003, is now co-owner of MLS side Inter Miami, but the former team-mate thinks he’ll be interested in being part of a bid to fight control of the global heavyweight from such a vicious family Glazer.
What did Rio Ferdinand say?
The former Red Devils quarterback told his YouTube channel about insider knowledge he was able to get that David Beckham would be coming with the consortium. According to Rio Ferdinand, he saw David at the game last night, he went to the game in England and they were sitting next to each other. Rio says that Beckham melted beautifully, looked beautiful, that he looked like a million dollars, as usual and did not look like 10 billion dollars!
But according to him, when they mention the name of someone like David, he obviously owns Inter Miami, but he does not come alone. It’s not his money. It’s not him in terms of putting his hand in his pocket. Beckham comes with a consortium.
Ferdinand says that David comes with people who have deep pockets, who have the ability to go and execute such a deal. So that’s how Beckham will approach it, and rightly so. Rio just thinks it will come down to a number. According to him, if they have a number and they can produce, that’s what he’ll be talking about.
A little about the topic
The Glazer family confirmed their desire to explore strategic alternatives, and The Rain Group was commissioned to serve as financial advisors. Several stakeholders have already been discussed, either as part of an investment or a complete takeover of Manchester United.
