Fergie’s key to Becks job
Posted Monday, June 10, 2013 by The Sun
DAVID BECKHAM’S chances of becoming a global ambassador for Manchester United rest with Alex Ferguson.
United’s American owners the Glazers hope Becks will help boost the club’s already huge profile worldwide.
But he would be working alongside his former boss, so Fergie — who flogged Becks to Real Madrid in 2003 — will be consulted over any decision.
A source said: “The Glazers feel Becks’ profile would be a huge benefit to the club.”
But if Becks gets this ambassador role he will be answerable to the board — and Sir Alex. ”So before the move goes forward Sir Alex will have his say, so that could prove interesting.”
Beckham, 38, is weighing up a string of lucrative opportunities after hanging up his boots with Paris Saint-Germain last month.
He has already signed up to Sky TV in a five-year deal said to be worth £20million.
