• LISTEN NOW: It’s All Kicking Off! Arsenal need to sign players for the here and now to win the Premier League… so, should they sign Harry Kane?

David Beckham and Gary Neville have completed their takeover of Salford City, according to reports. 

The former Manchester United stars were already part-owners of the League Two side along with a number of their ex-team-mates and stars of the ‘Class of 92’. 

However, The Athletic claim that Neville and Beckham – as part of a fresh consortium – have bought out other shareholders after raising $15-20million to invest.

Former United stars Nicky Butt, Ryan Giggs, Phil Neville and Paul Scholes are no longer shareholders at the club but will take on various different roles at the club.

Speaking to the outlet, Beckham said: ‘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.’

 

‘We’re definitely not doing it for a laugh and it’s also not for the romantic side of things,’ Beckham continued. ‘Yes, we care about the club — but we’re doing it to win. We want Salford to be successful and we have had success, but then we want it to go on to the next level. 

‘I always dream big so I’m always going to want us to get to the pinnacle of football and be in the Premier League. But there’s a lot of hard work and a lot of investment to be done up until that point.

‘The Championship is a league that we want to get in but it’s step by step. We want success very quickly but these things take time.

‘There’s a reason why we’re not going to be going up this year. So what is that reason? How do we solve it? And what do we need to put around the team, the manager and the club to ensure we have that success?

‘But if we can do that, fast forward it and be up in the Championship, that’s what the dream would be.’
