admin David Beckham has reportedly been offered the position of “international ambassador” to Manchester United by Qatari businessman Sheikh Jassim, who still wants to buy the club.
David Beckham is said to have been offered a job by Qatari businessman Sheikh Jassim, who still wants to buy Manchester United.
Over the summer, a high-profile takeover battle involving Sheikh Jassim, INEOS owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the Glazer family took place, with the former two attempting to buy the club from the latter . However, despite two huge offers to buy Man United, the Glazer family ultimately decided to keep the club.
A deal worth around £6 billion is being worked out for Sheikh Jassim to buy the club, but the Glazers have priced Man United out of the market. And the reason they are said to do so is clearly because they are trying to wait for a price that matches Man United’s £10 billion valuation.And the 48-year-old is no stranger to working with Qatar.
Beckham worked with the State of Qatar to promote last year’s World Cup, a role that brought him widespread criticism. However, in Netflix’s new documentary “BECKHAM,” Beckham’s role in promoting Qatar, a country that criminalizes homosexuality, was not mentioned.
“It seemed a little dated to me,” says Succession Fame director Fisher Stevens. “Honestly, if I had another episode, we might have been in this.But it doesn’t seem very relevant. When you talk about 48 years of a guy, it’s just a moment.”
And Beckham also hinted that he would also like to see the Qataris take over the club. “We want to get back to the top and I “I think I know the right person to do it, so we’ll see,” Beckham said at the Qatar Grand Prix when asked who he would like to see at Old Trafford.
