Beckham And Class Of '92 To Buy Manchester United For £2billion?


Beckham, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Gary Neville, Phil Neville and Nicky Butt are said to be in serious talks to become the front men of a multi-billion consortium hoping to buy a 90 per cent stake in football club, Manchester United, for £2billion, from Americans Joel and Avram Glazer.
The takeover is believed to be funded by the oil-rich Qatari royal family, brokered by Beckham, who spent several months playing for Qatari-owned Paris Saint Germain before retiring last season.
The Sun reported that the deal has not been confirmed yet by the former players and a spokesman for the club said they have not received any bids.
The club is currently valued at $2.6 billion, equal to £1.6 billion.

The current American owners Joel and Avram Glazer purchased a controlling stake in the club for £810 million in 2005.
