and have teamed up to take over League Two side Salford City, a club they've been involved with since 2014 alongside other 'Class of 92' members. The duo have bought out their fellow Manchester United legends Nicky Butt, Ryan Giggs, Phil Neville and Paul Scholes, who will still maintain some involvement in the club but are no longer shareholders.

The pair have been on the hunt for investment partners since majority shareholder Peter Lim left in 2024, considering various options including multi-club models and a direct owner. They've now partnered with Declan Kelly, founder of US-based advisory firm Consello, and Lord Mervyn Davies, chairman of the Lawn Tennis Association. Each new member will hold a stake of between 5 and 10 per cent in the club, totalling 80 per cent, with the remaining amount set aside for future partners.

It's reported that the group has managed to raise around £11million to £15m which will be used to enhance the club's sporting and infrastructural targets. Under this new ownership, Salford are eager to reach the Championship.

However, none of the new group will have direct involvement at Moor Lane, as interviews are being held to appoint a chief executive for the club.

In a conversation with , Beckham stated: "I will be over every big decision that's made and every little decision that's made. That's what my commitment is to Gary. It's what my commitment is to the club."

Neville added: "I feel very strongly that owners are just guardians of football clubs for fans and the idea is that fans should have access behind the scenes to what people are doing in the club. It's almost like a public company and it should be treated as such because of its importance to the community.

"We've never been shy in coming forward in respect of content for the club and that will be the same moving forward. But there are different innovative ways that can be done that isn't just a straight documentary.

"We have to be successful on the pitch, we have to invest in the local area and we also need to look at our infrastructure; the stadium and training ground. We've invested heavily over the last 10 years and we'll invest heavily again in this next four or five years - but we need to get this club on a firm footing financially and get balance into this club.

"There are very good examples of clubs in League Two, League One and the Championship who are almost sustainable, with a little bit of owner funding.

"They have created a player trading model and financial and commercial revenue streams that mean that they can look at things slightly differently and be successful, whilst being more sustainable."

Finishing a respectable eighth in League Two this season, Salford narrowly missed out on the playoffs. Having spent six seasons in the fourth tier of English football, the team were not far from finding themselves back in the National League just last term.
