Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes has endorsed a potential takeover of the club by a consortium led by David Beckham, saying he sees no reason why the group could not succeed in ousting the current owners, the Glazer family, and minority shareholder Sir Jim Ratcliffe.

Scholes, speaking to media outlets, expressed his support for Beckham's involvement, suggesting that a consortium fronted by the former England captain could bring the stability and ambition the club needs.

The Glazers have faced sustained protests from fans over their ownership, while Ratcliffe's INEOS group acquired a 25% stake in 2024. A Beckham-led bid would represent a high-profile alternative.
