But now Nicky Butt, Ryan Giggs, Phil Neville and Paul Scholes have relinquished their ownership.

Majority shareholder Peter Lim also departed in 2024, leaving Beckham and Neville to seek fresh investment.

And they have found that in the shape of Declan Kelly, founder of US-based advisory firm Consello, and Lord Mervyn Davies, chairman of the Lawn Tennis Association.

Salford enjoyed four promotions in five years once the ex-United stars initially bought in.

The 2024-25 season was their sixth consecutive campaign in League Two.

The Ammies finished eighth, missing out on a play-off spot by just one point.
