Africa-Press – Eritrea. David Beckham is expanding his football empire beyond the United States. After building Inter Miami into a prominent MLS team, the former England captain has now taken full control of Salford City, a club in England’s fourth division.
Previously a minority shareholder alongside the “Class of ‘92” legends like Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Phil Neville, and Nicky Butt, Beckham and Neville are now the sole owners of the club. With this shift in power, a new era is unfolding rapidly—and drastically.
The first bold move under the new regime was a sweeping clear-out: 17 players have been released following the team’s disappointing eighth-place finish this season. Among those let go is club icon Matthew Lund, a fan favorite whose departure shocked many supporters.
These drastic decisions hint at a major overhaul coming this summer, as Beckham and Neville aim to reshape Salford City’s identity and ambitions, likely with the goal of climbing up the English football ladder.
