The former France international believes Beckham’s reputation, experience and influence in football could help United move forward.

Beckham is already a co-owner of Inter Miami, where Lionel Messi currently plays.

However, Cissé did not stop with Beckham.

Cissé previously played under Keane at Sunderland and praised his strong personality, leadership and experience.

He believes the former United captain could bring discipline and a winning mentality back to Old Trafford.

Paul Scholes also supports Beckham takeover idea

Cissé’s comments came as Manchester United legend Paul Scholes also welcomed the possibility of a Beckham-led takeover.

Speaking on The Good, The Bad & The Football podcast, Scholes said he would support new investors if they could improve the club’s situation.

However, Nicky Butt warned that the Glazer family’s reported £8 billion valuation could make any takeover difficult.

For now, Beckham has not announced any official plan to buy Manchester United, and there is no confirmed agreement involving Roy Keane.

Still, the latest comments have created fresh debate about whether two famous United legends could one day return to Old Trafford in completely different roles.
