David Beckham and Gary Neville are among the key figures leading a new consortium that has taken ownership of Salford City, a fourth-tier English soccer team. Formerly owned by Beckham, Neville, and other teammates from the famed Manchester United 'Class of 92,' the club is set for a fresh chapter.

The new ownership collective includes investors from the United States, India, and England, all pledging to inject significant resources into the club, team, and facilities. While former stakeholders like Nicky Butt, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, and Phil Neville are no longer shareholders, they plan to support the club's future endeavors.

Beckham, who has fond memories of Salford, expressed excitement about contributing to the club's community roots and rich history. Inspired by Wrexham's success story under Hollywood ownership, Beckham dreams of elevating Salford to the Premier League, highlighting both the challenges and opportunities ahead.
