The Times have reported that the former England captain is open to holding talks with other prospective buyers in an effort to create a consortium that could procure the club.
Beckham cannot afford to purchase the Mancunian club alone, and is reportedly hoping to partner up with others in a bid to buy his former club.
With the Glazers looking set to call time on their 17-year reign as owners of the Premier League giants, any prospective buyer is likely going to want to include Beckham in their bid, with the same report suggesting that the Englishman's legend status at Old Trafford could boost would-be investors' chances of sealing the deal.
The United academy graduate has been approached to join previous bids for the club, but talks always failed to progress. Now, though, it is believed the six-time Premier League winner is once again willing to discuss a possible deal.
The record English champions have endured a tumultuous time under the ownership of the Glazers, with fans having often voiced their displeasure with how the club has been run under their stewardship.
