Butt, Giggs, Scholes and Philip Neville are no longer shareholders in Salford. However, they will still have roles at the club.

“Football will come first, however, it’s critical that we drive the club towards sustainability in the next 4-5 years.

“I can’t wait for the next part of this journey,”; Gary Neville said in a statement.

Beckham, who also co-owns MLS side Inter Miami, added: “Salford City is at the heart of its community.

“It has a rich history and I am delighted to be a part of the next chapter.”;
