David Beckham and Manchester United's Class of 92 ‘in talks over consortium bid for Old Trafford takeover’

According to reports, Beckham, Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs, Nicky Butt and the Neville brothers are exploring the possibility of buying the club - bank rolled by Middle Eastern oil money

David Beckham could front a deal that sees him and his famed 'class of 92' team-mates wrestle control of Manchester United from current owners the Glazer family.

The 38-year-old former England skipper set up his own Academy in East London back in 2005 and is currently busy in the US launching a Miami-based MLS franchise.

And now - according to The Sun - the group of former Manchester players and close friends Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs, the Neville brothers Gary and Phil, Nicky Butt and Beckham are exploring the possibility of buying out the much maligned Glazers.

The American family purchased the club in 2005 but have not been fully accepted by large numbers of United fans who have remained uneasy about the amount of debt the club were in after the deal.

And now the former players could head a consortium bankrolled by wealthy Arabs, horse racing trainer Ged Mason and millionaire bookmaker Fred Done amongst others.

News will not come as a surprise to Mirror readers as Stan Collymore suggested such a deal might be likely back in February.

It is not the only takeover deal on the horizon for the Class of 92, according to according the Manchester Evening News.

It reports that Giggs and Gary Neville are just days away from completing a takeover of Salford City in a move that may see the club renamed Salford 92 - with Paul Scholes appointed manager.

The deal could see the new side act as a feeder club for young United stars as they aim for Championship football within 15 years.

Not sure to believe mirror . However, After going public on stock market , I hardly think Glazers will give United away at a fair price or even think about selling the club . Club worth 2 billion pounds might be little too much for good old friends and teammates along with Arab , Mason and Fred Done. However, everything is possible and if they are interested I am sure something gave them that confidence that they revealed their intentions publicly.

@Marcus You should watch Ryan Giggs and David Beckham videos on the link above. I couldn't post them here because they are not a Youtube videos.

Giggs impersonation of Beckham was funny . Hey Maybe one day , our players will buy out Chelsea :D
nah Abramovich loves Chelsea , and still has so much passion for the club . Very obvious when he watches matches .

Wow that Salford 92 project sounds amazing.

Good luck.

Confirmed! the class of 92 buy Salford FC!

Yepp, that would be a feeder club for young United stars :) the whole project sounds AMAZING, I am always keen on seeing those legends stay close to the club and to the football world. :)

Wouldn't it just be amazing if Manchester United FC was owned by its own legends (the class of '92)? Heck, I'd love Real to be owned by Di Stefano or Butragueno.

@Zak I read a funny comment on that link that says: "If Moyes stays in few years Salford City will be above Manchester United."

David Beckham could buy the club by himself, never mind with all those guys.

glazers are nice owners you know that?

I would love to see how this pans out. Perhaps it would be the baby steps to creating a different model for teams to follow improving football overrall.

I fully back this idea.

@Alex, if Scholes stays there for 10 years and Manu have Moyes for the same 10 years I think it would be possible. What they're doing is very smart.. Scholes will learn coaching and maybe in 5 years will coach Manchester united.
