The United and England hero, who is a co-owner of the Major League Soccer club Inter Miami, has been backed to take over his former club in what would be a fairytale move.
Beckham departed United in 2003 to join Real Madrid for a £25M fee after falling out with Sir Alex Ferguson. Despite this, he is considered a legend of the club, and many would welcome him in as the new owner if the choice was made.
Now, speaking to BettingLounge, Brown has stated that Beckham taking over the Red Devils would be a whole different project to Inter Miami.
“Could Becks come back to United as owner one day? Becks has done fantastic at Inter Miami. He's brought in some great players. They are building the team again now to go bigger and bigger to become this worldwide brand. He’s done brilliantly in that sense.
“Manchester United is a little bit different. Inter Miami are a new team that needs to get itself out there to the world. I don’t think anybody thinks United need to get themselves out there!
“But Becks back at United? It would be a dream come true if that was ever the case, but I think Sir David is busy enough at the moment.”
United's major shareholders, the Glazer family, are widely hated by fans and any shift in ownership would likely be welcomed by supporters who are keen to see them depart.
