David Beckham and Gary Neville, former Man United teammates and members of the Class of '92, have completed a takeover of Salford City, buying out the rest of the Class of '92. Nicky Butt, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, and Phil Neville are no longer shareholders but will remain involved with the club in various roles. The new ownership group includes Lord Mervyn Davies, Declan Kelly, and several other investors, including Dream Sports Group. Salford City finished the 2024-25 League Two season in eighth position, missing out on a play-off spot on the final day. The new shareholders have committed to investing significantly in the club, the team, and its facilities. The takeover comes after the club's ownership began courting new investment in 2024.
