UAE are serious about the Manchester United takeover as the situation continues to develop behind the scenes.

I covered a report last week about how a UAE-based consortium flew to London to meet Glazers officials regarding an incredible takeover of the club.

There has now been an update on the situation with club legend David Beckham very much involved..

UAE consortium make fresh move with Beckham expected to play key role

David Beckham is set to play a key role to arrange second round of talks between Manchester United and UAE-based consortium.

That is according to an update from reliable insider Indy Kaila who has been covering the story through his sources inside Manchester United.

Indy was the one who broke the story about the consortium flying to London to meet the Glazers last week.

As per his latest update, the initial talks were rejected by the Glazers, who have had a strict stance regarding selling the club.

However, a formal approach was made ‘in the last 24 hours’. The Gulf-based investors are very serious and believe talks can be restarted with the club icon Beckham expected to play a role to get talks started.

Taking to X, Indy Kaila reported: “According to our sources: A consortium based in the United Arab Emirates 🇦🇪 initial talks has been rejected by Manchester United. Formal approach made in the last 24 hours.

“They believe talks can be restarted. David Beckham could be very key 🔐 to get talks started. UAE are serious.”

David Beckham’s influence and why his involvement could be key

David Beckham’s potential involvement could prove to be a game-changer in Manchester United’s ownership saga.

Few figures in world football possess the kind of global pull, respect, and connections that Beckham commands, both within the game and beyond it.

His standing as a former United icon, combined with his successful business ventures and various ambassadorial roles, positions him as the ideal bridge between the Glazers and the UAE-based consortium.

Beckham has long maintained a cordial relationship with key decision-makers at Old Trafford, while also enjoying close ties with investors and sporting executives across the Middle East through his commercial and football ventures.

Beckham’s influence could help restart talks that initially stalled. His potential to open doors, smooth tensions, and lend legitimacy to discussions makes him a valuable intermediary figure in the process.

If he can use his connections to reignite dialogue between the two parties, Beckham could play a crucial behind-the-scenes role in steering Manchester United toward one of the most significant ownership shake-ups in recent years.
