Eric Cantona asked to front Manchester United takeover bid by UAE consortium

Manchester United Takeover Bid: UAE Consortium Approaches Cantona, Rooney, and Beckham A consortium of investors based in the United Arab Emirates has approached former Manchester United player Eric Cantona to serve as an ambassador for a potential bid to acquire the club. The group is also considering former United stars Wayne Rooney and David Beckham for similar ambassadorial roles. The consortium is currently in the process of securing the necessary financing before it can approach the Glazer family, who collectively own the majority stake in Manchester United. The UAE-based group believes that having prominent former United players as ambassadors will be a crucial part of their acquisition strategy. The report suggests that the consortium is still in the early stages of its bid, as it continues to assemble the required financial resources to make a formal offer to the Glazers, the current owners of Manchester United.
