David Beckham, the former England captain, has been reportedly looked upon as one of the few legends at Manchester United for an ambassadorial post by Sheikh Jassim if his bid for club takeover is accepted. The current President and co-owner of Inter Miami, has fulfilled his duties in a similar role during the FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar, irrespective of the criticism coming his way last year.

As per the report from talkSPORT, David Beckham, who had a legendary career at Manchester United from 1992 to 2003, has been earmarked by Sheikh Jassim for a potential role at the club if he takes over. Notably, the 48-year-old was present in Qatar this past weekend to watch the Formula One World Championship race, held at the Lusail Circuit in Doha.
During the pre-season in the month of July, David Beckham shared his views on the turmoil at Manchester United, in connection with the club owners' Glazers Family. He was quoted as saying by the Athletic, “It hasn’t been the greatest of times for Manchester United, on the field or off the field. Seeing Erik come in is a breath of fresh air. He has had some tough decisions to make but he has done it in the most elegant way and in a way where he has got the fans on his side.”
“Off the field, as a fan and ex-player, I just want it resolved. There has to be a decision (regarding the ownership). Whoever is running your club, you want them to be passionate, be involved, make the right decisions, bring in the right players and invest in the club,” he added.
David Beckham also spoke about the need for investment in Manchester United to rebuild the club from the ground up. He said, “Because the club does need investment, whether it’s the training facility, stadium, on the field… These kinds of big things need to be made and changes do need to happen, especially when you see the likes of Man City and what they’re doing.”
