  /  autty

David Beckham has said he is open to holding talks with any potential buyers of Manchester United, according to reports.

Beckham is unable to afford the Premier League giants by himself but could form part of an investment consortium to purchase the club.

Beckham's involvement could be beneficial for the prospective buyers given his long-standing history with the club.

According to The Times, Beckham is open to holding talks with potential bidders for Manchester United.

Prospective buyers could enlist the former Red Devil to boost their chances of winning the bidding war for United.

Beckham's history with United and relationship with the Old Trafford faithful could swing the vote in their favour.

Beckham's involvement came shortly after United confirmed their US owners were open to a sale in a sensational statement on Tuesday night.

The statement underlined their desire to 'explore strategic alternatives to enhance the club's growth'.

Those alternatives include 'new investment into the club, a sale, or other transactions' - suggesting the Glazers are now prepared to listen to offers after 17 years at Old Trafford.
